Apple, which did not immediately respond to a request for comment, has previously \"respectfully disagreed\" with a FAS ruling that Apple's distribution of apps through its iOS operating system gave its own products a competitive advantage.
The FAS determined in August 2020 that Apple had abused its dominant position, then issued a directive requiring Apple to remove provisions giving it the right to reject third-party apps from its App Store.
That move followed a complaint from cybersecurity company Kaspersky Lab<\/a>, which had said a new version of its Safe Kids application had been declined by Apple's operating system.
\"Apple has paid a 906 million rouble antitrust fine,\" the FAS said in a statement on its Telegram<\/a> channel.
Apple had appealed the decision at various stages, but had been unsuccessful and ultimately complied with the order, the FAS said.
In a separate case, the FAS in January said it had fined Apple around $17.4 million for allegedly forcing Russian developers to use Apple's payment services with the iOS App Store.
Apple paused all product sales in Russia a year ago, after Moscow despatched its armed forces to Ukraine, and limited its Apple Pay service in Russia.
