Apple should fuck themselves with their "privacy"

Here's the issue.I'm trying to help my friend. He's from a country where Gemini is not available.He's fully updated and he has the latest version of iOS.We've installed some VPN service. It's working properly and shows Netherlands. All fine. IPv6 is disabled. Tested with myip dot com and ipleak dot net. No sign of the home country. Just to make things clear.As soon as he opens google.com in a private Safari tab it detects his home country. Gemini fails to open - says "your country is unsupported".What we've tried: Disabling Apple Relay

Disabling geolocation services globally

Enabling Fly Mode

Changing the OS language to English, the local language was completely removed

Changing the timezone to Amsterdam

Changing the region to Netherlands

Deleting all keyboards except US English

Cleaning the browser data

Playing with DNS

Restarting the device having done all of above.
