hello,

I have a quick question. My iPhones got age restricted with the latest update. This is probably because of UK’s child protection fiasco. The phones aren’t bought in the UK, does this mean I can throw away the phones now? I’ve never been in the uk whatsoever. It’s apple throwing me under the bus.

iPhone 11 and iPhone 16.

this is completely nuts honestly. anyone has ideas? or wants a free phone lol.

but seriously, how can a phone bought in 2020 be age restricted. If you wipe the phone, doesn’t it go back to its original IOs?

Thee are expensive phones which have become worthless overnight

Well, now I'm happy that I never get around to updating my iphone.

I'd rather risk the occasional virus than have this government-mandated spyware.
