DescriptionIn June 2026, Russian users discovered that when registering a new Apple ID with a Russian Federation number, the system automatically assigns the US region to the profile. This opened up simplified access to blocked international applications without linking foreign cards. Experts suggest that after mass publicity in major media, Apple may promptly eliminate this technical loophole under pressure from compliance control. The bet will be on whether the corporation will block this method of automatic region change for new accounts from the Russian Federation between now and the end of June.
ConditionsYes: if in the period from June 21 to June 30, 2026 in the specialized IT media (iPhones.ru, Habr, RBC) there will be confirmed information that Apple has closed the loophole and new accounts with RF numbers will no longer receive the U.S. region.No: if up to June 30, 2026 the specified method of circumvention of restrictions will continue to work successfully for users.
