  • Russian law now requires smart devices to come preinstalled with Russian apps.
  • The law was passed in 2019 and has been referred to as the "law against Apple."
  • Russia hopes the move will help its own software developers compete with international ones.
The new Russian law hopes to put its apps front-and-center to lessen its dependence on foreign software while also tightening its control over the internet. It will additionally affect tablets, desktops, and smart TVs sold in the country.
