The interesting bit to me: If you load the app with content before entering China, when you are in China the app won&#x27;t open. It seems to be deactivated if your phone connects to any Chinese cell tower.  This seems to be a bit heavy handed, particularly for Apple, but also doesn&#x27;t feel terribly surprising.<p>Also, the article seems to be based on some Reddit posts and no actual fact checking, so the quality of the journalism here is pretty low for the NY Times. I&#x27;d expect they could check with some of their staff in China rather than write &quot;it appears&quot; and use an anonymous source.
