Don't you need an Apple ID to use an iPhone? I would be really surprised if Apple couldn't geoblock that if nothing else. Which makes me wonder if they aren't on purpose.

Apple is complying with censorship requests from russia, don’t expect them to do shit

Technically no, but if you want to install apps from the App Store, then yes.

There probably is, but you can use a VPN to hide the ip address. There's probably a way to disable or pull out the builtin GPS detector too.

With starlink terminals, things have even escalated to GPS spoofing. So expect that Apple will cooperate but that the other side will also have ways of fighting back.
