Apple iOS Now Age Restricts Websites in Australia (aussie.zone)

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.

why can you not spoof your GPS then?

you can on Android.

I'm not sure how that would work on an iPhone but I'm sure it's possible with a bit of technical know-how.
