Ah, the usual disguised !orphancrushing@lemmy.world. Don't get me wrong: I enjoy a clever hack (especially a money-saving one) as much as the next guy, but there's no legitimate reason the grandmas shouldn't have had easy access to proper hearing aids to begin with.

(In fact, this is double !orphancrushing@lemmy.world because it's also about how they had to defeat Apple's anti-property-rights location restrictions to do it.)

It’s not Apple’s fault, blame the regulators in India. AirPods are approved hearing aids devices in the USA. The hackers even say they don’t blame Apple.

Right. Apple is required to disable features that are not approved by the government of the nation in which the product was sold.

For example, FaceTime is disabled if you buy an iPhone in the UAE.
