I don’t expect most iPhone users to ever change their default settings, but it’s nice that it will be possible in a year.
Who knows, maybe one day you can run actual Firefox on them too? :p

IOW, not something that one stuck in Ameristan can realistically override. Damn.
A handful of those factors are fairly trivial, but addressing all of them concurrently sounds like a tall order - especially since presumably one can’t talk to
countryd
directly and feed it the desired data.Appreciate the clarity - iOS just isn’t a platform I have a need or the tools to code in.
I tried fooling it myself several times with the aim of getting satellite connectivity in my unsupported country, to no avail.
Used a German SIM card (where this feature is supported), went in my basement where there’s no cell service so that it can’t read MNC or MCC from any networks nor can it read GPS precisely (the circle spanned almost all of Western Europe, that imprecise I mean), used a Raspberry Pi as a router with country code as DE, disabled Wi-Fi, used VPN, used the Xcode debugging tools to simulate iPhone location to Germany (this usually fools all apps into thinking I’m in Germany, including Apple’s own Find My), all to no avail. And there’s no way to feed
countryd
any custom data.It’s insane.
