Due to a law passed in Texas, Apple said Wednesday that it will require users who create a new Apple account to confirm whether they are 18 years or older. Still, Stitt said the restrictions could prompt parents to talk to their kids about their phone usage. The new Texas law would push parents to be more involved in their child's online safety when it comes to downloads and purchases on Apple and Google's app platforms.
