Or if you live in the EU you can just install the "PAL" version which works without a PC connection.
Yes, you can install the PAL version, however it’s not the same. Pal barely has any apps and Apple doesn’t “notarize” shit, so you’re still stuck with altstore/sidestore for any meaningful apps like youtube sponsorblock .
Apple found a way to circumvent the EU directive with this “notarized apps” shit. They are despicable.
