I won’t be verifying that I’m over 18 on iOS 26.4, and as of yet, I haven’t seen any downside to not doing so.

I do think this is going to backfire though. If it’s age restricted apps I can’t download, surely I’d just use the website instead.
I hear that the intent is to utilise some sort of age verification flag, but I can’t see it being implemented at all.
Put it this way… from 2016 to 2026, following GDPR mandates for handling visitors to websites only around 15% of public facing websites are GDPR ‘compliant’.
Good luck getting age verification uptake. You can’t block by default, the internet would implode.

@SecurityWriter I didn't on Xbox and so far it's been a bet positive. They have a load of features I want to turn off that keep getting enabled and I need to find them in global and per-game settings. Don't do age verification and they're now globally disabled. Win. I hope the iOS feature is the same.

@SecurityWriter When IOS upgraded it came up with the age verification thing. I just clicked ‘next’ or whatever and it said ‘Ah yeah, you’re grand’
Didn’t have to upload anything. Either the age of my account with Apple or credit cards sitting in wallet
️(Age verification is a dumb thing, but I didn’t have to do anything for this)
