Any queues in front of Apple shops in the UK yet?

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.

@fm_volker All quiet here in Cambridge, just loads of Macbook Neos in the shop :) – but that age verification enshittification would definitely a reason to return my phone. I'm already livid that there's no iOS 18 update for my iPhone 15, I definitely won't upgrade to crappy iOS 26...
