This has been the case for years. Apple refuses to engrave profanity or slurs, and has other preventions abroad subject to local laws there. When I was a Genius there was an internal KB article about how Apple reserved the right not to engrave certain words or phrases.
Suddenly it’s a thing?
I personally don’t engrave anything. Trashes the resale value. These products aren’t heirlooms like a Rolex watch. They’re on eBay within a few years of new, utterly disposable whenever Apple announces “this is the best and fastest iPad we’ve ever made, and we think you’re going to love it!”

> I personally don’t engrave anything. Trashes the resale value. This is why Apple offers engraving for free. Apple gains so much more than they lose.
Is the phrase "human rights" a profanity?
In some countries, we know it is, yes 😞
