Only in the EU which is typical. I wonder if there will be a way to spoof it for the US
Oh I'm sure there will be. It will be technically difficult (but not impossible) for them to allow other app-stores and sideloading but have the hardware and software be different enough in both markets to not have some slip through.
I suspect there will be lots of hacky shit for this.
I'm sure it will be and I'm also sure Apple will do EVERYTHING to make it almost imposible to do that. They may also block users from using their iPhones if they discover that they are set to EU, but they are actually not in EU.
