I was bummed seeing the next iPhone release to allow other stores / side loading only in Europe. This looks like this will be even better, excited to see what comes from it. I'd never swap to an iPhone mainly because their locking to safari / it's web engine and hopefully this won't be an issue afterwards.
Umm, just do a factory reset in a Faraday cage and set the locale to Ireland.
What’s the best way to get to a Faraday cage? A car? A seldom-used elevator?
Microwaves. You can also buy Faraday bags, but (almost) everyone has a microwave.
But you can’t close yourself in your microwave.
Unplug microwave. Open door of Microwave. Insert phone. Your cell signal will probably be lost. If not, (due to the missing sixth wall), build a curtain of aluminum foil to close-off the sixth wall. Poke a small hole for looking-through. Use USB-OTG keyboard/mouse.
This makes sense because I was planning on building an aluminum wall in my kitchen anyway.
Even some glass windows can turn your house into a Faraday cage. Be careful with building material selection, unless you want no cell signal.
Usually aluminium is just used for the studs.
