U.S. travel tip: Crave works on iPads

Dean Daley and I not too long ago went to San Fransisco to cowl the launch of Samsung’s S23 series smartphones, and far to our shock, Bell’s Crave streaming service appeared to work on our iPads whereas in america.

That is unusual as a result of normally after I’m within the U.S., I can’t entry Crave since different U.S.-based streaming companies maintain the rights to most of its content material and due to this, the platform is region-locked to Canada.

When testing Crave out on my laptop computer, it didn’t work, however the iPad app skirts the region-lock for some cause. Dean and I used an iPad mini, with mine on 5G and his on Wi-Fi. The MacBook I examined this on was additionally on Wi-Fi.

There’s no solution to say for certain if this can be a bug, however if you wish to atone for the most recent episodes of The Last of Us within the U.S., this could be a easy method. I’m fairly certain the final time I attempted to look at Crave within the U.S. on an iPad was at WWDC in the summer, so one thing throughout the Crave app appears to have modified since then.

I’ll additionally point out that I used to be in a position to watch content material on Paramount+ on my iPad for a number of days of my journey, after which on the final evening, it stopped working and I used to be locked out.

Have you ever been in a position to watch Crave on an iPad when exterior of Canada? Tell us within the feedback beneath.
