Earlier this week, Apple halted sales of all of its products in Russia. The tech giant also removed media outlets RT and Sputnik from the App Store.

The company also disabled both traffic and live incidents in Apple Maps in Ukraine as a safety measure.

Apple is prompting users to donate to Unicef, with banners and notices on its website and in some apps urging customers to aid Ukraine.

Apple might lose at least $3 million in iPhone sales revenue daily or $1.14 billion annually as it announced to pull out from the Russian market in the wake of the Ukraine invasion, according to reports.
