Rules:
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.
How does graphene bypass it if they require a weird proprietary api in the future.
Like imagine a government mandated ISP-level protocol that scans your internet packets for a Apple, Google, or Microsoft (or any of the "government approved" corporates) signature before allowing your packets to go through.

Or, enjoy your Linux PC, or any PC, while you still can, if it gets to the point where thin clients tied to the state cloud are the only thing you can use.
This is my fear and I think it might be a real possibility
Looks like I will continue not updating my iphone. They can't do this without a software update, right?
Yeah for me it happened after I updated :/ not sure how long you can delay it though
What version did it start?
iOS 27.0.1
iOS 27 introduces the next generation of Apple Intelligence and Siri Al, as well as new features to help parents create safe digital experiences for kids, and improvements that make iOS more responsive and delightful to use.
Didn't read patch notes, my bad I guess
I t cones down to, what does apple require as verification process? And how do they store the data?
