Economist Razuvaev advised Russians to buy an iPhone before the ruble falls

The ruble may weaken by 10-20% by the end of 2025, so it's better to buy iPhones and other electronics now. About this on August 23, "Gazeta.Ru," said economist Alexander Razuvaev.

You should not expect lower prices for iPhones in the near future. According to his forecast, the ruble exchange rate may sink next year, which will lead to an increase in the cost of imported goods.

"You need to buy now, while the ruble is still strong. I think it will fall by 10-20% by the end of the year. Accordingly, the price tag will increase," Razuvaev said.

He stressed that in modern conditions, a smartphone is primarily a tool, not a luxury item.

"Now it's just a device. If you earn very well, it doesn't hit your pocket much. But if the cost of the phone is higher than the average salary, this is wrong," the expert added.

Razuvaev also advised choosing not only iPhones, but also more affordable analogues, the main thing is that the device is reliable and performs all the necessary functions.
