How do I make my phone think I’m in the EU?
Good luck.

Based on our findings, the new system internally called “countryd” was silently added with iOS 16.2, but is not being actively used for anything so far. It combines multiple data such as current GPS location, country code from the Wi-Fi router, and information obtained from the SIM card to determine the country the user is in.
I really hope some apps can't exploit this.
Mostly because I VPN into some streaming apps, so they think I'm in a different country when I'm not to get that sweet dirt cheap PPV cost.
I do hope Apple won't allow access.
