I'm sure there will be a way around this geoblock in no time. It may be as simple as changing the country in your Apple ID — just put a random address from that country in there and you're done.
- turquoisevar 3y agoThey created a daemon called countryd that continuously checks a bunch of variables. Such as sim country, gps, WiFi country code if WiFi networks around you, Apple ID country etc. I know better than to say there will never be a way around it but you’ll probably have to be able to fool it while entirely in airplane mode, without SIM, while also finding a way to actually download what you want to install.
- akmarinov 3y agoAs someone who has tried to get the non-VAT US prices - you need a credit card issued in the country you claim you’re from before downloading any apps.
- grishka 3y agoThat's if you plan to pay. You can download free apps without a credit card. I changed my app store country from Russia to the US this way because I got fed up with some free apps being unavailable because reasons. But even if you do want to pay for things, I suppose you can make a second account for the desired country, activate your iPhone and set up alternative app stores with that, and then log into your real one.
