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 I'm probably going to be in the same boat. Great.
@KaraLG84 @FreakyFwoof I love how governments assume that every single one of us has a passport.
not everyone has bloody passports either.
In Australia, drivers licenses are king.
I have what's called a proof of age card which is supposed to be an equivalent to a drivers license but it's always the first thing they ask for. This or your passport and I have neither.
