Apple must continue to age-verify users in Texas, says one-sentence ruling

In a significant decision, the Supreme Court upheld the requirement for Apple to enforce age verification for iPhone users in Texas, rejecting the company's request to halt the law's enforcement. Apple vehemently opposed this law, with CEO Tim Cook personally lobbying against it, highlighting concerns about privacy and user safety. This ruling underscores the ongoing tension between tech companies and state-level regulations, particularly around data privacy and age verification. It also signals a broader debate about the balance of power between federal and state laws in the digital age.
