Well this is the first time I think I’ve been genuinely bloody livid about an update because of iOS 26.4.

I don’t do credit cards, only debit, which is common enough in the UK, and none of the cards I input were enough to prove I’m over 18, despite the fact I purchased the damn phone, it’s tied to my Apple ID which has my birthdate, and since we don’t have ID cards and I don’t drive, my one method of verification (that being my passport) was not accepted.

As a result I cannot change some settings on the phone I spent my own money on….. What the actual hell is this utter fucking bullshit? Age verification laws strike again. Fan fucking tastic.

@FreakyFwoof Hope you didn't support these laws.

@serrebi Of bloody course not. I was happy when my son used a VPN to use the proper, non-condom internet.

@serrebi @FreakyFwoof and what kind of response is that? it should be possible with legal forms of ID and as in the UK a credit card is a choice rather than a necessity, as is a passport, it should be possible to verify with other forms of id/other questions such as credit history etc. even gov one login now verifys with govt data rather than passport if you haven't got one, or the app doesn't work, as it has accessibility issues.
