Apple’s Find My app didn’t work in S. Korea for 15 years – a user’s 19-month campaign changed that

Interesting story but imagine if he had channeled that energy into something actually meaningful lol

Although no official data is available, Mr Hwang believes South Korea has more than 10 million Apple users, yet, for 15 years, no one – not the media, influencers or lawmakers – questioned why a basic feature was missing. Everyone assumed someone else had checked.

One person finally did.

“For me, this wasn’t just about the feature alone,” he said. “It was about how easy it is for misinformation to settle into something permanent. People thought Apple had a good reason. But no one could say what it was.”

I wonder if this is a cultural thing? Like how widespread is the belief in dying from sleeping in a room with a fan on?

Since no one has posted the reason why this feature was blocked by apple in south Korea and I don't want to read this article, I had Claud summarize it,

According to the petition, Apple said Find My was disabled "because of internal policy," likely related to privacy concerns and South Korean law interpretations Applelnsider, though the exact reasons were never officially stated.

I wonder if it had something to do with the relationship between Apple and Samsung....
