unable to accept new icloud terms and conditions iPadOS 16.7.10

This is not helpful when the iphone says it is already up to date.

My iPhone 8 says it is up to date with 16.7.10

What do do in this case?

(At some point I may be forced to upgrade but I WILL NOT accept a phone that eliminated the fingerprint option.)

That would assume that Apple actually cares about their users. It doesn't really, as has become clear to me as a user of multiple devices that I bought because the hardware is really good.

The above error is going to happen on all devices that Apple has decided to label as "legacy", i.e., they won't support them even though they're working just fine. So, you have to buy a new gadget. Since iCloud is so crucial for most iPhone users (think backup or even moving to a new device) or for WhatsApp, which you cannot move across platforms and cannot backup onto anything else, then it's more or less blackmail that Apple is carrying out here.

Don't expect any pro-active support.

Also having the same issue, and as you have all found, the only solution that gets mentioned is to upgrade your iOS. Like most of you I am the max I can upgrade to on my iPad Air 2. Oddly my iPhone is a lower iOS and it's not asking me about T&Cs at all. Would be great if could just be accepted online, but I've not managed to get the pop up when I log into it on safari (although I've not tried another browser to do this, did anyone else?)

Appreciate this is the same as everyone else, just hoping that a volume of comments may get noticed by Apple to address this for us all.

You are not the only one - see my question for the same thing...

Same issue with my iPhone 14 on iOS 17.6.1. No matter what I do, I always get the message that the action cannot be completed at this time.

Me too, iPhone 7 Plus. Can't access my Notes... :(

Same here. This really is ridiculous. Tim is THE WORST CEO.

my notes have disappeared & its saying the same thing

Same problem here: iPhone 13 Pro and iOS 17.6.1

I should add that the new terms acceptance worked fine on my iPad (iPad Air 3, iPadOS 17.6.1).

Same thing is happening to me. I didn't pay much attention to the request to accept terms and conditions until I realized that my Notes were all gone.

Same thing happening to me — day 3 of this. Coincides with my texts suddenly not being sent.

Didn't work for me. iOS 17.7.1, iPhone 13 Pro Max

I have updated my iPad to17.7.10 as you suggest, however I still can’t accept iCloud’s new terms and conditions. I just get the same message I got before which everyone else on here is getting.

Will Apple reveal its little secret or are they too embarrassed to admit their little f---kup?
