Although iPhones haven't been legally for sale in Iran, citizens have been able to illegally get them from other countries such as Hong Kong and Dubai. This resulted in Iranian app developers making applications for users. The Apple company took action and quickly began to take down any existing apps in Iran. After the removal of all Iranian apps, there has been protesting on social media from those who are outraged by the ban. The Apple company says they cannot do business that has to do with apps connected to US embargoed countries.
