I don't think that will happen, because I expect Apple will do something along the lines of "unless an iDevice is signed in with an account with a verified EU credit card, and/or has been in the EU for more than 50% of the time over the last year, disable the ability to sideload and wipe all existing sideloaded apps".
- EMIRELADERO 4y agoI presume doing the latter would raise serious CFAA concerns.
- stale2002 4y agoThey could try. At which point they get fined billions of dollars. The EU does not mess around. And the more "clever" apple tries to be, the higher the fine will be.
- zarzavat 4y agoApple already has a system to set the region of a device. Go to Settings > General > Language and Region > Region.
- josephcsible 4y agoI don't think Apple will use that system for this, since doing so would let everyone sideload just by setting their region to somewhere in Europe even if they're not actually there.
- zarzavat 4y agoThe existence of that system makes the use of some other more baroque system hard to defend.
