    Someone found some code that referenced geo-blocking features. So if you are physically in Europe, then it should work and when you are outside of Europe then it wouldn’t.

    I’m not sure if they plan to use the os with way, but maybe they will.

    Maybe turning on a vpn will do the trick.

    I’m guessing that they will lock it to Europe for some time, but in the next iOS update roll it out world wide as they see the writing on the wall.

    But Apple always seems to find a way to disappoint.

        How are you getting an Internet connection in which to download, if you’re in a Faraday cage?

          Serious answer… the GPS (and location tracking in general) on an iPhone is disabled by default and you’re asked to opt-in when you set up a new device. You don’t have to enable location features and you can change your mind later — on a case by case basis as well. So you an have GPS in maps and weather reports, but not allow the general system services to access your location.
