IPhone won't let me accept new iCloud terms and conditions

It is beyond ridiculous that this issue is all over the support chat boards, and NO solution is available. I've tried signing out and back in. Why is this happening to SO MANY users? and no solution?

I finally called Apple. As it turns out, I need to update to the newest update in order for my phone to accept the new terms of iCloud. However, my phone is older and does not have enough memory to upload the update. What it boils down to is that I need a brand-new phone—with more memory. I am not happy.

My wife has an iPhone 8, still supported, but can't update ios to the latest version (only goes to 16.7.10) ... so can't accept terms and conditions.

Did this work for anyone? (AlWeir’s suggestion^) I’m still stuck on “this action cannot be completed at this time.“

Updated to 17.7.1 released today 15 November 2024. Problem still persists.

Click Continue > Pop-up with "Cannot Complete Action - This action cannot be completed at this time" OK

Waiting patiently to be able to accept your service's Terms and Conditions.

PS Apple support suggested using a different browser, using a private window, using a desktop, or even using a non Apple computer to sign in and accept the new terms (they said there'd be a pop-up after sign-in). How crazy is that?

After speaking with Apple Support I updated my Software to iOS 18 and the issue went away, they told me that your device must be running the latest software to be able to accept the new Terms and Conditions

In Genecles' case, iOS 18 does not support the iPhone 7. iOS 15 is as high as that model can go.

I already tried that by signing out and it did not work for me

same here

Just got off the phone with support. If you have an older iPhone that won't run the latest OS, the only solution is to buy a new phone that does.

Granted you have to cut off support for older devices at some point, but a bit of advance warning would have been nice.

It worked ok for me on the first day it was issued, my wife now trying and is getting the error message that is being discussed here.

If you don't have enough free storage on your iPhone or iPad you still might not be able to install the update. You need at least 20 GB of free storage to install the update.

I did the sign out, sign back in, etc. Turned off my VPN, reset and NO fix. I keep getting "Cannot Complete Action." I sure miss my Android! Still not a fan of the Apple iphone.
