RGB3x3 @lemmy.world They probably use your fucking GPS location to determine where you are for this. And that's more difficult than just using a VPN.

It’s possible, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to ignore the VPN when checking your location. I’d suspect they’d check using more than 1 approach (Internet, GPS, country on your Apple account, etc) to verify your location.

SIM, plane and simple your carrier location is your location.

Not every iOS device uses a SIM card, and not every SIM enabled device uses one. It's a potential way to verify location, but not a reliable one.

You are right I did not think that through.

I use ProtonVPN 24/7, and it hasn't changed anything. It's a firmware thing, I think.

UK Apple ID on a phone registered on a UK mobile network. Of course a simple VPN won't fix.
