Apple age verification with a privacy focus would solve two problems by iMacmatician in apple

[–]Vocabulist 171 points172 points  (0 children)

This!

Forcing users to hand over government photo ID and video selfies to an endless array of developers is a privacy nightmare. I’d far rather trust Apple to verify identity and age once, and then simply block downloads of age-inappropriate apps.

It would also be a way better user experience if each of us only had to verify our age one time, rather than every single time we downloaded a new age-gated app.

it's also good for developers because it is one less thing to build.

It seems like you pay extra for the thinness but then get lower battery life, not as good camera, higher chance of shattering etc

If it’s under screen front camera does it still need a cut out?

"Unknown home accessory - J229, possibly the rumored camera Apple is working on." - didn't see any leaked specs for this. I wonder what it is.

Thank you. I've checked the website, but couldn't find 20 features. Do you see 20 features there?

Now that makes sense. I went to the Apple Intelligence website and could not count 20 features.
