I’m sure Apple will have done their research and don’t mind the tiny percentage of users who will actually defect rather than say they will, especially knowing that most hardcore privacy geeks are Apple-haters already.

Ah yes, Google, bastion of privacy. They’ll save us.
edit: if you think the average user is installing grapheneOS youre out of your mind. either way you’re buying a pixel phone and still giving money to google.

Garbage clickbait.

Even if most Android builds weren’t eventually going to go the same route, it’s not like 99% of these people will ever actually switch. People talk a big game about taking action to push back against this stuff, but when it comes to voting with your wallet, people suck at it. They’re mostly hoping that just the threat will make things change, and that’s just not how it works.

Until Google does it. No escaping this stuff.

Honest question, is there much harm in using your credit card for verification? Apple has this information regardless if you make App Store purchases 🤷♂️

The shit thing is no they won’t, and android will copy the same stupidity because they will use apple as verification to implement it

Lol no they won’t.

My backup IPhone already runs on Linux. Okay will miss some of the features but it’s a great operating system I can recommend.

I imagine Google is going to follow Apple’s lead.

It’s coming to Android too. There’s likely no escape from it.

I’ve enjoyed Apple for a while but I likely wouldn’t purchase another in the future. I already buy discounted, second-had so it’s not like they’ll lose that much tho

But if I don’t update to the newest iOS I’ll be fine.

My 86 year old father will NEVER figure this out. This will turn his iPhone into a brick.

I downloaded the latest update on my iPhone and the only thing I saw was a message that I had had an Apple account for so long that I didn’t have to do anything.

Why do people care so much? They already have all the information they could ever want from us, I am so unbothered by age and identity verification.
ETA: maybe tell me why I should care if you’re going to downvote

Why the fuck can’t parents do their fucking job and turn on parental controls.
I guess fuck my privacy

I understand why all this safety stuff has been popping up but it’s so invasive, it’s just more data out there that will 100% be hacked, bought, sold, even if they say it’s secure, it’s only secure till it isn’t. I’d rather have a dumb phone, and switch from Mac to Linux.

Yes just like people “cancel their Netflix subscription” after every price increase, and NFLX posts double digit user growth every quarter nonetheless.
People are outraged on paper only. They are too actually comfortable to put their money where their mouth is.

So the UK implement a law and people rage against Apple?
SimpleGuy7 on
Go ahead, switch to Android.
But you won’t, will you.
Takes work to change things, online anger from your parents basement is pathetic.
Resident-Variation21 on
Android will do the same.
NeutralBias on
Android won’t save you. Adding age verification to iOS is forced by UK Age laws, and Android is going to have to do the same thing.
Apple, Google, etc all deserve criticism for various failures over the recent years, but in this case your anger is best directed at the political buggers ramming this shit down our throats.
nightingale-nitemare on
People are forgetting that Android is becoming a closed platform later this year. Also, fuck the UK government and their “child safety” bullshit.
TheGlacierGuy on
They know Android is Google, right?
VansterVikingVampire on
Google actually announced something similar. You guys are too late to switch. I think these announcements are coming out when they are, because of close-door meetings of people running the cell phone oligopoly.
Which is still technically illegal, but the courts have unanimously decided not to hold companies accountable for this since the 70s.
amanset on
When Android starts enforcing it, who will they switch to then?
The issue is the law, not the mobile phone creators.
