Is there a problem with this? Most users are using an iPhone and most iPhones already know the accurate age of their user

I think it will be an extension of parental control and shift that accountability/responsibility upwards; Meta is not anyone's real life parents anyway.

People will just forge IDs with LLMs. This measure is basically unenforceable, and wastes everyone's time and money.

I’ve heard Android is a more common OS. In any case, if your OS fails to ask a user their age, it’s banned.

    Okay, sorry yes that was an oversimplification. Android does ask your age as well, so that's all of them for mobile phones.

      Android doesn't ask your age, Google does for an account. You can use an android phone without a google account. Most people don't but the distinction is important because degoogled android phones will also have to comply.
