iPhones in Russia now show government-mandated list of apps to install as part of set up

<p>Last month, it was revealed that Apple had agreed to comply with new Russian legislation that would require device makers (https://9to5mac.com/2021/03/16/russia-pre-install-iphone-apple/) to ‘preinstall’ apps as part of first setup. </p>
<p>As it is now April, this law has come into effect and Apple has enabled the system server-side. After completing normal iPhone set up, iOS now directs the user to a special App Store collection of apps.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> We’ve learned that while the new Russian law requires local apps to be offered during setup, the government isn’t explicitly mandating which apps are shown.</p>
