      They probably use your fucking GPS location to determine where you are for this. And that’s more difficult than just using a VPN.

        Hell the phone knows your carrier from the SIM in it. It’s not like you can VPN your way outta that.

      It’s possible, but I wouldn’t put it past Apple to ignore the VPN when checking your location. I’d suspect they’d check using more than 1 approach (Internet, GPS, country on your Apple account, etc) to verify your location.

        UK Apple ID on a phone registered on a UK mobile network. Of course a simple VPN won’t fix.
