The announcement from Erdogan was in a reaction to US President Donald Trump’s new tariffs on the country making a great downfall to the Turkish currency, Lira.
He has specifically favored the use of the South Korean brand, Samsung or Turkey’s own brand, Vestle. However, this is still unclear that how the country will implement the restriction knowing the large market of iPhone in Turkey as reported by the Associated Press.
