Is Apple quietly preparing a comeback in Russia despite past restrictions?
Apple has applied to register the Genius Browse trademark in Russia — a feature linked to its Apple TV that recommends content based on user preferences. The move stands out given Apple scaled back operations in 2022. It raises a key question: is this just a legal step, or an early signal of a return? A trademark doesn’t guarantee a launch, but it suggests Apple may be positioning itself for a future comeback in digital services.
Conditions
Resolves “Yes” if by September 30, 2026, Apple launches or expands at least one new or previously unavailable software/service feature (including Genius Browse or similar) in Russia, confirmed by official announcements or product availability. Otherwise — “No.”
