Question: does setting up your ipad for the first time in a country lock up your ipad/account to that country's app/itune store?
I'm giving my ipad air 2 to a relative who lives overseas when I am visiting her in November, but as she is not that great with technology, I thought about setting it up for her after the reset (i.e. installing it under her apple account, downloading a few free apps that she could use, tweaking setting, etc, just basic stuff).
But I think each country has its own app/itune store region, if I am not mistaken. I remember trying to access itune store while I was overseas and couldn't due to region restriction with my macbook air a couple year back. So I am not sure if it is ok to set up the ipad while I am still in the U.S and whether doing so would lock it and/or her apple account to U.S. app/itune store. As she will use it in her country, I wouldn't want to do that.
FYI, I helped her to create her apple id and I think she did so in her country. But she hasn't really used it for anything yet. Don't know if that makes any difference here.
I'd appreciate feedback from those who know more about this. Thanks.
