Made me bite the bullet and update to 26. Bleah.

I believe that in Australia, after upgrading Age Verification kicks in.
> As of early 2026, Apple has introduced mandatory age verification in Australia for downloading R18+ rated apps and accessing certain online content. Users may need to confirm they are 18+ via Apple account payment methods, government ID, or facial age estimation to complete upgrades or app downloads.
Jokes on you my iPhone wont update past 16.4 :p
I refuse to use their shitty iOS 26 mr. „Planned obsolescence“
Maybe if it would let me fucking update without trying to decide which photos and videos to delete or to subscribe to cloud storage. Why the fuck do I need 14gb of space for the update? Can’t the iPhone just allocate the necessary space for future updates so that I don’t have to do this eveerytime a new critical update pops up.
If you tell me you hesitate between getting yet another hack or getting the vibe update that turns the phone to shit, I honestly won’t blame you.
You may also move to Android next time you change phone.
I swear that with every update my iPhone becomes more unusable. I keep hoping each subsequent update will have bug fixes but instead they just introduce more problems. I can never find anything I want in the photo album, the keyboard has so many issues now. Voice to text almost purposely changes what I said to incorrect things. Such a frustrating experience.
So basically all the things America does.
“It targeted iOS versions 18.4 through 18.7” and is only possible via visiting a website that executes the code on their end without you knowing: “Watering-hole Attack: Attackers compromise websites that targets are likely to visit, meaning no clicks or app downloads are required, only a simple visit to the site.”
so basically don’t visit sketchy sites and you’ll be fine….
