      They own the phone after all, they’ll figure it out.

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

        Hell the phone knows your carrier from the SIM in it. It’s not like you can VPN your way outta that.

      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.

          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.

      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.
