There was no meaningful consent to this situation before upgrade.
I've gone through the release notes for 26.4.
I've gone through various media articles about new features in 26.4.
Nowhere is the implementation of age verification mentioned.
The Apple support staff mentioned that it had been discussed in forums covering the beta.
That's not something that will have been seen by 99% of iOS users.

As an IT pro, I use my phone for work. Apple have damaged the utility of my phone for my job without even attempting to warn me beforehand. Until this is fixed my choice is : a) my phone is now a toy and not to be used for Serious Work or b) I risk my personal data by rolling back to 26.3 or c) I fork out a grand and several weeks of effort to remove my data from Apple's ecosystem. None of those are exactly great choices, are they? (7/7)
