Apple Expands Age Verification to Singapore & South Korea

Apple’s identity verification demands are spreading across Asia. Starting in late March, the company expanded age verification requirements in both Singapore and South Korea, adding these countries to a growing list alongside the UK, where users must prove they’re adults before Apple lets them fully use their own devices.

Hardly ideal. But I’m glad they’re at least accepting credit cards. Anything else like face verification, passports and national ID cards are crossing a line imo.

And you have to do it again every year. The law requires Apple to re-verify someone’s age annually, meaning South Korean users face a recurring obligation to confirm their identity just to keep accessing content they’ve already been verified to use. 👀

Yea that absolutely sucks for the Koreans. Doesn’t make any sense unless maybe they’re trying to counter people selling their accounts or something?
