Apple temporarily halts online sales in Turkey after currency crash

Apple has temporarily stopped selling products to customers in Turkey as the Turkish lira continues to crash.

According to CNBC, the Turkish lira crashed to a record low of 13.44 to the dollar on Tuesday.

While the online Apple Store remains available for customers in the country, Apple is not accepting any new orders in Turkey, not allowing shoppers to add any items to their digital shopping bag. The website reports nearly all devices as unavailable.

Apple has not announced an official halt to sales.

The value of the Turkish lira has dropped 45 per cent compared to the US dollar over the course of the year.
