These 4 iPhone Features Don't Work in Certain Countries
1 min read
Summary
iPhone users in certain countries have found that their phones have features omitted as a result of local legislation, whereas iPhones in other countries have included different features as a result of local laws.
For example, iPhones sold in China do not include Facetime audio, and those sold in the UAE do not include Facetime at all, due to local legislation that favors government-supported telephone companies.
On the other hand, iPhones sold in Japan and South Korea have their camera shutter sound permanently enabled, to discourage users from taking pictures without permission, and iPhones sold in the US do not have a SIM card slot.
Finnish users can access a supplementary emoji pack, comprising over 50 emojis that represent cultural customs that are difficult to express in other languages.
