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 Yup, I got it last night. Literally the only form of ID I have is a debit card, which I got when I opened my bank account at 21, which I had to prove when going into the bank. But no, my phone just vibrates at me and says verification failed every fucking time. I remember when phones had physical buttons, flipped up and down and didn't have a screen reader built in. That age verification enough for ya? Fuckin' skeevy pricks!

@cubic @FreakyFwoof Yeah I had to manually enter my fucking credit card details in to get past it, fucking stupid it is.
