U.S. is to lift sanctions on consumer communication hardware, software
and services, including laptops, mobiles and VPN. The action helps ordinary
Iranians who have been affected by the sanctions. The National Iranian American
Council (NIAC), which led the campaign to lift communications sanctions,
applauded Obama Administration’s decision.
“Lifting these sanctions is an extremely positive step,” said NIAC Policy Director Jamal Abdi. “There was no better example of sanctions that undermined human rights and civil society efforts of Iranians, and helped the regime.” (NIAC, 29 May)
“Iranians have been squeezed between a repressive government on one side and crippling sanctions on the other,” said Abdi. “Now the U.S. is taking steps to ensure that, as Iran’s government cracks down on Internet access and SMS, sanctions will no longer block cell phones, software, and hardware.”

on any tehran shopping center, you can find all smartphones and any kin d of computers and laptop
So why anyone in his or her right mind should be against the sanctions?
Apple losing its market share to Samsung so its an economical issue.
As soon as its stabalized they shall uphold the sanctions again.
Its self serving and not Iran serving.
Stay with Samsung and others. let Apple lose the battle and eventually the war.
