Lots of other replies about how Apple software doesn't give the granular data, but another reason you can't register on your own hardware is that they can't trust your device (since fake registrations could create free money for one person). The 'how it works' page here https://worldcoin.org/how-it-works specifies that they are doing integrity checking of the orb software.
The Aadhaar project faced the same issue, and learnt this lesson over a decade (ending up with trusted hardware, on-device signing, and rooting out untrusted operators).
Unfortunately, Worldcoin plans to deploy it in untrusted environments, which sounds like the biggest "hack me for free money" sign ever.

Few realize this.
