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.

    I got this same page when trying to connect to a WiFi hotspot (In the UK). Now I’m planning a migration plan for the family away from iOS.

    Most people won’t care but for me this is where it crosses a line.

      Yeah… this is the first time I’ve felt like someone reached into my device and said “no, fuck you.” No tricks or traps work, because it’s operating system level bullshit.

      The thing I paid like $1600AUD for a few years ago is no longer my property; the terms have been changed retroactively. It makes me quite angry, actually.

        It never was your property. Which is why I don’t use devices with proprietary OS.
