Or does Apple get worse with every update?

Not only did the latest update wipe the parental controls off my DC's iPad it has merged the video and tv apps.
I used to be able to block the tv app and she could watch films I put on the iPad.
Now, they're combined and I can't find the answer to how to restrict it.

I have in app purchases switched off but the rent/buy buttons for new movies are still there and not greyed our. Does this mean she can rent or buy new movies or will it not let her?

How can I stop it suggesting that she watches Frozen and other movies and programs?

Lay off the op's parenting, she asked a reasonable question, if you can't answer that, it may be mindful not to comment?

That's why they're only under warranty for a year.

If you have a contract with Vodafone they give you a year's extra warranty on your Apple,phone. I only,discovered this a couple of months ago when I had a display issue - to be fair it's the first issue I've had over the last 9-10 years of Apple ownership. The Apple store noticed mine was with Vodafone and told me. Took it to,Vodafone and the phone was sorted free of charge no issue. They also covered some battery issues when we read through. Just worth knowing though if some people have any issues.

Oh and having had both Apple and android phones/devices in our house and at work over the years, there's really no difference between the two regards updates, batteries, etc. In my experience anyway. Both get slower with time. Both have issues after some updates.
