How does iAd choose ads based on the country?

Question

There's a list of countries where iAds are available, but how do I check if the user's device is in that country?

In particular, does iAd choose ads based on the country:

The device was bought in?
The App Store the app was downloaded from (based on StoreKit receipts perhaps)?
The current physical location of the device (presumably based on its IP address)?

I'd like to enable or disable certain non-iAD functionality based on whether iAd is available in that country.

You could simply have two versions of the app and make them available in different countries. — Abhi Beckert, Sep 29 '15 at 02:35

iAd choose ads based on the user The current physical location of the device. Apple tracks user location and ads more based on location + interest + type of application (your app). User can disable location based iAd from settings.

For more details you can also see this guide for advertiser although not for the developers but give you better idea how apple advertise.
