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.

Agreed to it in the EULA (most likely)

It’s not…in the EU. So they lift the restriction there and there only. It’s clearly not a technical limitation, just greed.
