News articles report this became possible with iOS 15 , but can anyone personally confirm it with their own experience/phone?

I’m talking specifically about bought in Japan iPhones being used outside Japan

Thanks

I have an Japanese iPhone 13 Pro Max, using it outside of Japan with European Simcards, and there is no Shutter Sound

I have a Japanese friend who's staying in France and we tested together, her phone doesn't make a noise when a picture is taken here

Yes, if you’re using a non Japanese sim, it won’t make the sound. Tested it myself with a 12 mini.

Does the same concept apply to korea iphone

Nope, from what I understand it’s baked in and can’t be turned off for legal reasons.

Why wouldn’t it let you disable it?

Law in japan because of all the creeps taking upskirt photos.

Exactly what happened to having a mirror in your shoes.

Why would the camera app be associated with using a Japanese sim card?

Because Japan has a law that cameras must make a shutter sound to protect people from things like stealthy upskirt photos.

Means if you buy an iPhone in Japan, you will never be able to turn off the sound... Execpt what op says is true.

Nah, of course not.

That would make no sense.
