Apple’s requirements to hit creators and fans on Patreon | Patreon
Patreon is a pretty popular system that allows you to sponsor artists or app developers. Now Apple requires 30% of everything paid to developers via Patreon for iPhone apps.
Because too much money is never enough. (It's not like #Apple is one of the richest companies in tech, huh.)

Apple Forces UK iPhone Age Checks in iOS 26.4 | Reclaim the Net
With iOS 26.4, #Apple has turned every iPhone in the UK into an identity checkpoint. The update, released March 24, requires all UK users to confirm they’re 18 or older before accessing certain features and services on their Apple Account.
UK communications regulator Ofcom called it “a real win for children and families.”
The infrastructure being built is more of a problem than that framing suggests.
Apple has, without warning, placed a gatekeeper on the devices of 35 million UK users who paid good money for full-featured smartphones and now find themselves holding something closer to a supervised children’s tablet.
