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 Shoot. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Truely I am, so what are you going to have to do now?
@Landon205 I have no idea. Probably see if anyone else reports it, or contact Apple support if needed.
@FreakyFwoof @Landon205 Return it under warranty (assuming it's less than two years old) 🤷‍♂️
@distinctdipole @Landon205 Doesn't exactly solve it though, I still need a phone, and that's where my primary apps are.
@distinctdipole @FreakyFwoof I meen how could you return something that's under warnty that is less then 2 years old lol.
