Its not clear whether and how Apple will identify UK users. So would someone that registered an iPhone in the US but uses it in the UK lose access to ADP? What about UK users living overseas?

"For users in the UK who have already enabled Advanced Data Protection, Apple will soon provide additional guidance. Apple cannot disable ADP automatically for these users. Instead, UK users will be given a period of time to disable the feature themselves to keep using their iCloud account."

Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection in the United Kingdom to new users – Apple Support (UK)
Here’s what it means.
