Just turned on an Ipad for first time configuration bought in another country... [View all]
My question is, how does it know i'm here?
A friend of mine brought me an iPad from Norway bought in a store, never opened, never turned on. I'm in Germany right now and turned it on to configure it. It's the 32gb version WiFi only. The first thing that happens when i turn it on, is that it suggests Germany as a locale and German language. This is the absolute first thing in the configuration, long before i came to the wifi, which is a locked network.
How does it figure where i am? Can it get the location of locked WiFi-networks around me ?
