- layer8 4mo agoThe OS restriction aren’t merely based on the region settings, they are also based on Apple Account region/country and on the detected physical location of the device.

Additionally, there are some EU only features, such as third-party NFC payments. Apple’s performative DMA outrage is getting more pathetic by the iOS version.

- charcircuit 4mo agoIn my experience it only locked me out (of just the payment or account settings I think) for like 24 hours when I switched like 4 times in a single day.

- charcircuit 4mo agoFrom my personal experience I found it easier as a user. I had no balance or subscriptions at the time so I could quickly switch regions back and forth to get all the apps I wanted.
