How will that geofencing be enforced? Is this EU feature dependent to the place you purchased your device or to the location registered on your Apple account?

How will that geofencing be enforced?
Is this EU feature dependent to the place you purchased your device or to the location registered on your Apple account?
If you change your location in or out of the EU does it then apply or revert the feature?
- supriyo-biswas 4y agoThis isn't as difficult as you make it look. Many Android devices have the concept of carrier-specific configuration files (CSCs) which are baked into the ROM, and phones sold in the region come baked with the variant with only the specific CSCs in question. A similar implementation could be followed by Apple, where they have a separate image for the EU.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoIn EU phones are also sold unlocked without any carrier info baked into the ROM.
- rickdeckard 4y agoPhones of major vendors sold in EU still contain carrier info for the region even if they're sold unlocked. Outside of US and China, Samsung for example ships so-called "Multi-CSC" variants of their devices which permanently apply the region and country of your device on first power-on with a SIM-card. The required information for that is not pulled from the network but is already preloaded in the ROM of the device, a network connection can be used to get an updated version of these profiles though
- smoldesu 4y agoI look forward to the US passing similar laws and getting the upgraded image!
