    All mobile phones have non-mutable shutter sounds.

Japan has similar legislation that came from men taking up-skirt photos in public places (trains, etc.). Workaround: Buy a phone overseas. It will still work on the Japan mobile networks. I assume Korea has a similar backstory. Please correct me if wrong.

    Location services like find my iPhone are banned.

I assume this is related to North Korean spying.
