Even your map doesn’t support this claim.
Belarus is marked as a country where Apple dominates, even though this is not true: Redmi (Xiaomi) and Samsung phones are more popular there (link)
And it seems like the situation in Russia is similar: Apple is the 4th most popular brand (2023, link).
I’m using data from StatCounter, as mentioned in the figure. See Belarus and Russia. They could be wrong; their figures are based on website hits.
