iPad cannot accept iCloud terms and conditions

My iPad (5th Generation) is too old to update past 16.7.10, so apparently I can’t accept the new iCloud terms and conditions in order to continue using iCloud. Is there any exception to this? I can’t use my icloud on my otherwise fine iPad.

Unable to accept iCloud Terms and Conditions on iPhone Settings in iPhone lead me to the Terms and Conditions page, but once I click Continue, it turns gray and the pinwheel never stops turning. My iPhone is an older model (7plus), which may be Apple’s way of forcing me to upgrade because the last allowed update is 15.8.3. If I upgrade phones without iCloud, moving my stuff to a new phone will be a disaster. Anyone have a suggestion? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

"To use iCloud on this phone you must accept the new Terms and Conditions." Just set up my new iPhone, and I am prompted that "To use iCloud on this phone you must accept the new Terms and Conditions" but when I tap the blue link to the Terms and Conditions, nothing loads up to accept , everything in Settings freezes, and I have to force quit to exit out of Settings. And, none of my Messages prior to restoring from my iCloud backup have synced. I suspect this is because I have not accepted the T&C. iOS 17.0.3, iPhone 15 Pro.

I have the same issue with my iPhone 8. Like you, I can't find any alternative ways or methods to accept the New Terms.

Please consider submitting feedback on the product page [Product Feedback - Apple], as I have done.

I’m trying to find out as well with my phone. I refuse to update to a new iOS that has so many issues and wasn’t fully tested.
