VERBATIM: The ban had been in place since 2023. The Telecommunications Minister says the problem of registering new iPhone models on the Iranian market was “solved” and that Iran’s president backed the efforts of the communication ministry toward that goal. Following the 2023 ban, iPhone 13 and older versions could still be imported amid high demand for items that remain a status symbol among many young Iranians.
