Yes, the website is completely devoid of any specifics as to how it managed to do this, or indeed exactly how it works. It appears to simply be an iPhone with certain apps removed from it, and access to the App Store restricted in some way. Which if you use the parental controls on iOS, you can do anyway. But perhaps the £119 per month is the acceptable cost for some parents to save a little time and effort!

I wonder what would happen if little Jimmy, factory resets the phone or restores it using DFU mode? I suspect it becomes a normal iPhone with all restrictions gone but still costing little Jimmy’s parents a small fortune each month.

But all academic, as you say, it appears to be impossible to purchase anyway now, assuming that it did ever exist and wasn’t just some vapourware product.

No, no, no, you’ll never be a tech-bro, with that attitude.

What you should say is 'I can sell you a £ 27monthly subscription for the brick.....'
