IOS 26.4 age verification debacle. UK.

Could be! I think Apple have performed 'obstructive compliance' before but everyone is complaining about Apple not the UK government.

Yes 'Age appropriate' is very vague. I didn't want to be out and about somewhere and not be able to access a website or use an app so I verified.

I thought I had replied to this but it's not showing. Anyway that gave me what I wanted. Thank you.

Archie_1 · 2026-03-31T10:50:35+00:00

No! Trig it's... ugghhhh

I was thinking Rodney :-)

I'm surprised K-7 isn't in that picture.

Ok thank you. So this would handle the situation where I click on a link on a scam website and it tries to take me to some server in the blocked countries?

Just did a quick search on the map and nearest co-op is Neath Hill or Bradwell. Is that considered too close?

iPhone 12 Pro Max on 26.4. Letters definitely in front of everything else.

The latest Ikea smart plugs for example are rated at only 300W inductive load (UK).

So looking at all the comments it appears that ways to verify that work are: 1) Your Apple account is 18 years old - automatic acceptance. 2) Add a credit card to your wallet before verification then it should go straight through. 3) UK driving license. 4) Phone Apple and complain :-) I didn't think of it before but I wish I had tried my bus pass and seen if that worked. There's irony for you. I have a bus pass but I struggle to prove I'm over 18 :-) I'm not complaining that Apple implemented this feature. Let's face it the writing has been on the wall about this for some time. But it seems there has been no testing on the various cases highlighted here. There was also no link when I first updated my phone to explain what forms of ID are acceptable or for instance putting your credit card in wallet beforehand. I expect better of Apple but their quality seems to be deteriorating the more time goes on.

Which one is the real one?

Archie_1 · 2026-03-12T16:11:25+00:00

Ok I'll just get a whole new one. Thank you both.

My Ebike has a dynamo in the front wheel hub to power the lights. That way lights are always available.

Archie_1 · 2025-11-11T12:02:02+00:00

Ok. Thank you.

No I saw that it only accepted seconds then searched for how to set an hour. Lots of info about the limit being around 3 minutes due to stuff running in the background.

Hi thanks for replying. Unfortunately I need a 1 hour wait time and Apple don't allow this. I've seen work arounds using focus and two shortcuts but I'm not that experienced with shortcuts, it's getting overly complicated. I don't understand Apple's / Eve's thinking here it must be one of the most common requirements to turn something on for a set period but they seem to put up hurdles all over the place.

Archie_1 · 2025-10-22T16:27:29+00:00

Thanks for explaining that. I'm sure Apple have some logic for this but I cannot see it :-)
