(Not sure if this is worldwide or only in some countries)

Updating to iOS 26.4DB2 will put your phone into a parental-restricted mode with adult websites blocked on all browsers, warning prompts every time you try to send or receive an explicit image on a messaging app, and all social media apps blocked on the App Store (in Australia)

The settings to disable this mode are locked off until you verify your age either with a credit card, photo ID, or though information Apple already has (like the age of your account).

I’ve been an apple user my entire adult life but this might finally be the thing that forces me off the platform. Do any other long term apple users have some tips about migrating? I’ve heard Ashai Linux is pretty good on mac hardware these days and I’ve been thinking about GrapheneOS for a while.

    China, I understand. North Korea? I do not.

    Well congratulations you are getting less racist. Now keep going and examine what you have against the DPRK. By the way, the fact that you call it “north Korea” is inherently racist. You should listen to the Blowback episodes about the Korean war. What you understand as “south Korea” is not a separate country but is a dictatorship in an occupied region set up because the west cannot allow the legitimate government of the DPRK to survive because of old holdovers of “containment” during the cold ware where anything and everything was “justified” as long as it prevented the horrifying spread of communism (aka good things that threaten global corporate profits).

    • By the way, the fact that you call it “north Korea” is inherently racist.

      Can I ask for clarity on why calling the DPRK “North Korea” is racist? Is it just on the grounds of legitimizing the Samsung Republic occupation zone w.r.t. the atrocities of the Korean war, or is there another reason?

      I find it hard to believe that “North Korea” is racist.

      That’s literally the cardinal direction of that country.

      Other things…

      • I dated a Korean!
      • I’ve been to South Korea!

      Thinking South Korea is a dictatorship but North Korea is sunshine and rainbows is… delusional imo.

      I’m not sure if you’ve been to either but I have to assume no.

          sure, go for it.

          although I think it’s pretty obvious that it’s not comparable here.

          it’s called the Korean peninsula. One country is on the north, one is on the south. pretty hard to argue that North Korea and South Korea don’t logically follow from that.
