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.

What do you mean? That I can't set up something like tailscale on iPhone? Or can I set it up as long as it's in the same country and I can't set up a makeshift VPN service by routing my traffic through a VPS in a different country?

in china? probably not on an apple device of any kind. In the UK? maybe, but if the apple device was first booted within the UK, apple might remove the software from your device. That's something apple can do by the way, they can just take things off your device if they don't want you to have them
