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 That's super frustrating. I'm not super up on this, is this happening in the US as well or just some other countries? I'm frustrated too on your behalf, that's absolutely ridiculous. I use my iPhone because I need a phone, but I can't say I'm happy with it, I don't enjoy using it anymore and I don't like Android either. But I need a phone.
