Summary
Apple iOS 27.2 age verification now requires adults in Australia, Brazil, Singapore, and the UK to pass a four-angle biometric facial scan before downloading 18+ apps -- the first time any major OS has embedded such a gate below the app layer. Apple has not disclosed its accuracy rates, and the same infrastructure is available for every future government mandate.
