syxApple Just Lost Me
Any system of age verification will fail to satisfy the writer, because it is fundamentally the UK’s fault by requiring such draconian measures. Credit cards don't work ever time, but the other options of using AI or sending your data to a third company who will resell it are also not great.
The only other complaint seems to be liquid glass? It really feels strange because Apple feels on the upswing with their new office and their cheap, repairable mac.
Tapping a UK passport to your phone works just fine for ETA apps and it would work just fine for Apple as well.
The fact that you think American corporation punishing foreign users for their laws is acceptible is sick upon itself.
How many people have a passport vs a credit card? If you travel a lot, sure, but some folks never leave their hometown.
More Brits have passports (86.5% [1]) than credit cards (64% [2]).

Not really. I was hoping more large US corps would just not comply and force a big kerfuffle and force the UK government to rethink the OSA and other ridiculous legislation.
