Eventually to open the iPhone you will need to write a note as to why you need to use it. It’s all part of AI (Apple’s Intelligence)

I used to maintain a few simple apps for one of our local sports clubs; Glorified blog/calendar type stuff. We once had an iOS update blocked until we proved [org name] owned the copyright and trademark to a logo image consisting of [org name] in a stylized circle. The image in question wasn’t new to the app, either.
