   Can you spoof your iPhone location using the method where it has to   
   connect to a computer in order to install the app?   
   .   
      
   On apps that use geolocation, just a VPN is not sufficient.   
      
   But I wonder about Wi-Fi only iPads since Apple forgot to include GPS   
   capability. On most Android tablets, even those without cellular   
   connectivity, there is still a GPS so apps that require a GPS, like   
   offline mapping, will still work.
