Was it something I did? On April 5, the very day I moved from Egypt to Shanghai, the Egyptian government announced that its blanket ban on GPS devices was over. If I were more paranoid, I'd be taking it personally.
As Egypt's Daily News points out, the only two remaining countries banning GPS device use by citizens are now Syria and North Korea.
It will be interesting to see whether the early adopters of Egyptian iPhones, sold until now without GPS functionality turned on, will be able to get the GPS chip turned on via a firmware or software upgrade. Or else, it really sucks to be a law-abiding early adopter in Egypt.
