    Zero chance without jailbreak but then you don’t need it. You might be able to fool a single app into believing a false location but an entire OS that has access to GPS, local WiFi details etc….

      Depends what the EU stipulates. Don’t they require iPhones which are sold in the EU to abide by these rules? Or like you said phones which reside in the EU?

        I bought a phone in Japan and I live in the EU. While in Japan, the camera shutter sound couldn’t be turned off as per local law. Then when I came home it was silent as normal. Then upgraded to a new phone and old one is making the shutter sound again without a SIM in it. So it both detects which market it’s from and where it’s used.

        There was concerns when this was announced that Apple could legally delete all your sideloaded apps the moment you stepped outside of the EU.
