Apple iOS now requires age verification to access websites it deems 18+. Not even using another browser like Firefox works, it’s blocked at the OS level.

I was putting off switching to Graphene or e/os until prices improve, but looks like my hand is forced.

Edit: VPN doesn’t even work because Apple knows your GPS location. I haven’t tried location spoofing yet because that’s a bit more annoying to setup.

    Better ad placement.

    Apples ad department hasnt been a very good money maker, so Apple has been doing everything they can to just block competition on Apple devices to make sure that they could be the best ad company for Apple users. They block all they can from other companies but then track the hell out of you so they can serve ads to you that are more valuable to marketers.

    They get away with it mostly by claiming they are protecting their users privacy, when its really to block competition. Its quite an eye opener when you read all of Apples privacy policies.
