Someone found some code that referenced geo-blocking features. So if you are physically in Europe, then it should work and when you are outside of Europe then it wouldn’t.

I’m not sure if they plan to use the os with way, but maybe they will.

Maybe turning on a vpn will do the trick.

I’m guessing that they will lock it to Europe for some time, but in the next iOS update roll it out world wide as they see the writing on the wall.

But Apple always seems to find a way to disappoint.

Faraday cage and GPS simulator? A hackrf and some tinfoil can probably do it for a few hundred bucks

How are you getting an Internet connection in which to download, if you're in a Faraday cage?

Wifi inside the cage?
