Russia finds Apple guilty of fixing iPhone prices
Google isn't the only American company facing regulatory trouble in Russia. The country's antitrust body has ruled that Apple is guilty of fixing prices for iPhone 5 and 6 variants at 16 local retailers.

If they didn't comply, Apple supposedly had the authority to terminate their reseller deals without so much as an explanation.
