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 had this pop up personally, thankfully my Apple account itself is old enough to vote - so that was the extent of the age verification.

Still doesn’t bode well for younger generations though.
