I bought a phone in Japan and I live in the EU. While in Japan, the camera shutter sound couldn’t be turned off as per local law. Then when I came home it was silent as normal. Then upgraded to a new phone and old one is making the shutter sound again without a SIM in it. So it both detects which market it’s from and where it’s used.

    What happens if you remove the SIM, disconnect from cellular and wifi?

    And yet my phone is from Hong Kong and I went to Japan and it didn't make a peep.

    I’m in Korea and there’s the same camera sound law. Bought a 14 Pro Max in the UAE, no camera sound. Brought it to Korea, inserted Korean SIM (not tourist account, but resident postpaid), still no sound.

    Can I ask what model phone this is? That's interesting, I used to work at the Genius Bar and the handful of Japanese model phones I've seen all had the shutter no matter what. But these were slightly older models that had been sold second hand to end up in the US.
