Faraday cage and GPS simulator? A hackrf and some tinfoil can probably do it for a few hundred bucks
Comment on Sideloaded app stores are coming to iOS in the EU
M500@lemmy.ml 8 months agoSomeone 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.

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

Wifi inside the cage?

Serious answer… the GPS (and location tracking in general) on an iPhone is disabled by default and you’re asked to opt-in when you enable it. Even then, you can still opt-out no a case by case basis including “System Services” which is basically the operating system. So you an have GPS in your mapping app, but not anywhere else.

A faraday cage doesn’t neutralize all wireless communication in its area, just from passing through its walls. Meaning that any network hardware within the cage would work just fine.

It’s likely to be based on your iOS account.
In order to use the EU store, your account just needs an EU address & credit card on file.

This policy is so frustrating for me.
I’m from the US but live in another country.
There are so many apps that are only available in one country or another so I effectively have two phones just so I can access all my banking apps and some streaming stuff.
