I can't download apps with China region

Dear APPLE,

I have just returned to China mainland after my 9 years of overseas life. I hate to loose the freedom of accessing the overseas apps. Hence, I have kept my apple ID region in South Korea and I have downloaded the VPN apps before my return to China.

However, not changing the region to mainland china makes me not able to download the iPhone apps I need for my life here.

What would you suggest? Do I change my region or should I create another ID for my mainland China life? What is the pros and cons?

I look forward to your reply.

Kind regards,

Aggie (Jie)

Based on what you posted concerning how much you enjoy overseas apps, I suggest you create a different Apple ID for use in the Chinese App Store/iTunes. You can only change regions every 90 days, so that will limit your ability to switch between the 2 regions.

The only con I can think of is there will be a delay in updating apps when the App Store/iTunes is in the other region.
