Nope! New countryd process uses Apple ID address, course-level location/carrier country and device region to determine DMA region locking, unfortuantely.
If one thing's been clear though the Apple DMA stuff so far, it's that Apple will go to lengths to maintain their status quo in all aspects.

- noirscape 3y agoWhy did I even think of offering them the potential of not doing it the most malicious way possible lmao. Wouldn't be surprised if that's going to get smacked down - tying "requiring an Apple ID" to being able to exercise your rights doesn't seem like something the EU would be happy with, considering the GDPR 'n such.
