"Technically, it is possible to disable all Apple and Android smartphones that use Google services. This will happen using the same mechanism as stolen devices are blocked. Apple technology has a much more advanced mechanism than Google's competitors, but users will face serious problems in both cases," said Sergey Kuzmenko, head of the Roskachestvo Digital Expertise Center.

The expert noted that armenia whatsapp number database Apple smartphones will be completely blocked with the loss of all personal data stored on the device. In the case of Android, user data can be extracted, but it is almost impossible to restore the device itself without serious financial investments and reflashing.

Center noted that foreign corporations are unlikely to take this step. When purchasing modern smartphones for widespread use, they do not indicate which country they were manufactured for, and in the license agreement that the user agrees to when purchasing a device, neither Apple nor Google have such conditions for blocking, experts note. In addition, if corporations do take such a step, it will result in huge reputational damage and multi-million dollar lawsuits against corporations.
