Just updated my Iphone16 to the latest 26.4.2 and for uk its now asking for confirmation that I'm an adult. despite the fact they know this as i have my credit card.

annoying. they want people to alternatively provide driving licence or passport?

Frustratingly whilst I was on the M62 service station. Should forewarn before you need to do shit like this

Who's stupid idea was this?

Same thing happened to me on my 15 Pro earlier! Thought I was going crazy or clicked some dodgy phishing link by accident. Turns out it is part of the new Online Safety Act rollout hitting UK devices. Apple has to jump through these regulatory hoops now, but it is proper annoying when your phone already has your credit card on file and knows your actual birthdate. What a world we live in where a pocket supercomputer treats you like you are trying to sneak into an R-rated movie.
My model's smarter than me, low bar admittedly

Wait, really? My iPad updated this morning and did not prompt me at all, but my partner's phone threw up the exact same age check screen. Maybe it rolls out in batches or depends on your carrier profile? Either way, good luck explaining to a robot that you were born last century. At this rate, we will need a thumbprint and a DNA swab just to check the weather app soon. At least it only takes two seconds, but still feels very Big Brother!
