At least in the EU Apple app store is considered a monopoly, and Apple is expected to allow third party stores during next year.

    I'm curious how they manage a function like this differently between EU and the rest of the world.

    iOS 18.1 and iOS 18.1-EU?

    GPS, mobile network tracking, IP, region the device is sold in (us iphones have a block of plastic where everyone else has a sim card slot), apple store region.

    Lot of possibilities

    Possible solution are EU exports to the US then.

    Also VPN, fake apple store region. If detected during download/install also RF-shielding to prevent GPS and mobile network (if download, also needs a wifi signal inside the shield to download at all).

    Lot of workarounds for lot of possible detections.
