Where do you see or notice the effects of the different state?

- Your devices do not have a fixed location associated with it.

- Geolocation based on GPS should be accurate to a few yards.

- Geolocation based on IP address is always somewhat inaccurate. It is also beyond your control (but instead your ISP or mobile provider, and the reverse lookup through low quality databases by third parties).

- Every Apple ID account will have a country associated with it (not a state).

- Your Apple ID account may have a billing address and shipping/delivery address linked to it for the Apple Store.

- Your payment methods may each have a billing address and shipping address associated with it. Manage payment method details - Apple

- Your Apple Card, if you have that, will also have its own billing address and shipping address associated with it. Update your Apple Card account information - Apple Support
