And that was that - for me, at least.

iOS 26.4.1 dropped this evening, and either the 18-year Apple account limit has been dropped, or they’ve added in other metrics (I bought my first bit of hardware direct from Apple in 2005 - 5 years before I had an iCloud account).

It’s still a Bloody Stupid Faff and - as a technology, has more problems than a logician’s wet dreams, but I can at least use my phone for work again without fearing it’ll block or report me.
