About the show Apple Watch in the Pride version, the apple company took care back in June/June during the promotion WWDC. The inspiration for this version is the rainbow flag representing the LGBTQ community, which aims to promote equality and diversity for all people, regardless of their gender or orientation. Despite being a company Apple known for her openness in this field, she too has her limits. One of the developers iOS, which Guilherme Rambo endorsed them with the information that the Pride dial pre Apple Watch has a denial of availability coded in the resource, if any iPhone registered in the Russia region.

On the Reddit page as well as in the section Apple support, this issue was one of the hottest topics. The Pride version simply evaporates from the available watch faces for users as soon as they change their location to Russia. The given problem can also be tracked in the open beta of the system iOS 12. This fact is related to the Russian law on "homosexual propaganda" from 2013, which was labeled by the European Court at the time as a homophobic step that promotes prejudice against the minority community. Based on this law, Russia threatens heavy penalties and even imprisonment. It appears that by denying access to the Pride sa Apple avoids legal conflicts. Proceeds from the sale of Pride straps for Apple Watch goes to an organization that defends the rights of the LGBTQ community. However, you will not find this strap in Russia.
So far, the company has not responded to the problem Apple she did not express. Leading analysts claim that with this move Apple knowingly depriving potential customers not only of a product in the form of a strap and a pre dial Apple Watch, but at the same time participates in the discrimination of the Russian homosexual community. On the other hand, it is more than possible that by removing the source code and then making these options available in Russia, the company would come into conflict with the laws there. This is not the first case of discrimination on the part of Russia, as Google has also had several skirmishes with government authorities in the past. The cause of the controversy was the rainbow flag displayed on a Google Doodle during the 2014 Sochi Olympics.
I would be interested in how to fight in Russia when a rainbow appears in the sky after rain? They are just colors that may or may not mean anything. Apple should be uniform in this throughout the world. If you don't like it, we won't sell you anything in Russia. But money is money, so companies adapt even against their convictions.
They probably wouldn't even let me go to Russia if I had the stupid idea to go there, I also have a rainbow strap :-) Fortunately, I don't have to go to this backward country and I really won't go there voluntarily.
Sandra, that backward country has its own space program. Your developed country has a shrewd president who causes shame wherever he goes. Compare the weight of Putin's words and the weight of Zeman's words. Who does the world consider more backward?
The fact that Russia has money for the space program does not mean that they are not backward countries in their approach to minorities.
A classic example of "equality" on the part of the more equal. We are all equal, but if they don't have a pride dial, then they have fallen behind.
That's probably why they pay doctors with manure in Russia.
It seems that the frenetic and unconditional fight for the rights of minorities in the case of ends with such a small thing as.. erm.. money. :((
I think that it is absolutely aptly and truthfully evaluated 👍
Because it's about money. AppI'm always in the first row.
Russian whores
Gay Pride is enough for me 😀
At least someone has sense 😃
It is well
It is not the duty of every country to tolerate every deviation, let alone publicly promote it. Tim Cook He puts his "gift from God" (as he said) where it's usually kept...
Correctly! They won't invent a bracelet for a normal family, but hey for some extras 🤷🏻♂️
Only a Slovak can come up with such crap :-D
Roman: I think it's a little funny, I'm fighting for something and in a country where the rights of these people are the worst, I suddenly don't fight... seeing that the economy is always stronger than any beliefs
That's how it is with the new left everywhere. In Saudi Arabia, there are also not many Pride marches per year (respectively, exactly 0). That's why admitting homosexuality is punishable by death there. Anyone can fight where there is no danger.
Pardon? Be proud of being warmer? And show it off to people? This civilization deserves to die out.
Should he be ashamed?
Homosexuality is a common thing and if you agree to limit their freedom... Please, please, move to Russia and leave this country alone.
The era of communism has long since ended in the Czech Republic.
Until homosexuals are treated the same as normal straight people, these actions will continue.
I admire them for the fact that despite these idiots like you, they still manage to live a happy life.
Sorry, but they will never be viewed the same way. It is simply a disorder and will remain so, however much we may pretend that it is not
"Matthew"
Are you kidding me that being warmer is a normal thing? And the more your crazy actions continue, the more normal people will hate and dislike you. If you keep your mouth shut and move on, you will be talked about less. Your overheated actions are counterproductive.
Homosexuality was and always will be a deviation from the norm and I hope nothing will ever change... a couple is always just two she and he, not he and he or she and her and anyway trans is something that doesn't know if it's a tree or a fish 😂 well and how do you know it? Well, simply... only a few can reproduce... the others can't and that's why I'd rather support nature...
Alas, poor infertiles. According to you, they are not a couple.
I love Russia! They are normal there.
That's how iphone from Dubai, facetime blocked because the UAE government doesn't want it. And Apple he won't go against the government, otherwise he'd get a stop sign..
so the only thing is to make the dial by hand like a wallpaper from a photo, .. it just won't curl like the original ;(
Apple it just uses the fact that human rights are in fashion in the West and not in the East for the purpose of profit. Just squeeze money out of it at all costs. If there were no sanctions on the DPRK, I would be happy to sell there Apple Watch with a photo of Kim on the dial, which will send information whether the person clapped enough at the great Kim's birthday party :D
