Is it even worthy to consider the region locking a real obstacle? You can trivially make an Apple ID for any region (just put in a random address from there), and you can trivially change your IP address to any country (just use a VPN). They wouldn't use GPS for that, would they?

@grishka They are using SIM card information to do the region lock. Because it's hard to spoof a carrier.

@chockenberry @grishka Wondering if removing your SIM would prevent installation process 🧐

Martin, iirc iPhones require you to insert a SIM card (or install a eSIM) as part of the activation process. I do wonder, though, if you can just stick any EU SIM in there regardless of where you are, or it requires an actual network too.
