Could enabling a VPN spoof apple to think your in a based country?

[-] Sebbe@lemmy.sebbem.se 11 points 11 months ago

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

Yup. Agreed.

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.

[-] ShadowCatEXE@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] VieuxQueb@lemmy.ca 1 points 11 months ago

You are right I did not think that through.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Chriswild@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

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.
