Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it’s blocked at the OS level.

I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.

Edit: VPN doesn’t even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven’t tried location spoofing yet because that’s a bit more annoying to setup.

    Looks like I will continue not updating my iphone. They can’t do this without a software update, right?

          iOS 27.0.1

          iOS 27 introduces the next generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri Al, as well as new features to help parents create safe digital experiences for kids, and improvements that make iOS more responsive and delightful to use.

          Didn’t read patch notes, my bad I guess

            Ya. That’s why I’m still on 18. I consider any instance of LLM’s embedded into an OS to be malware.
