Has anyone who's already updated to 26.4 been required to verify their age?
Seems like they snuck it into iOS 26.4 without warning. Am not massively
keen that an OS manages age definitions on my behalf. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c20qwz9xzr9o

I donrCOt recall that but I updated my iPhone first so maybe my Apple account was by then flagged as being aged verified when I updated my Mac?

No. A Mac can be used without a credit card. Theoretically even without
an Apple account/ID.

The UK is not the world. No other country in the western world would
dare such a Nazi style breach of security, privacy and basic human rights.

Do they not ask if you'll allow them to use your stored Wallet cards as confirmation?

I've just updated my iPhone, it explicitly said that it had verified my
age by the credit card I already had on file. All it demanded was a
simple touch confirmation that I'm of age. I then updated my iPadPro;
that didn't require explicit age verification so I presume that it had propagated from the iPhone confirmation. All very quick and easy.
