You can get this feature on 30 dollar smartwatches from China. Not sure why this still stands..

Well, intellectual property rights and patent enforcement are nonexistent in China, so that would explain why it's available there.

Oh, a new and more robust battery chemistry is coming sooner or later, like LFP chemistry or solid state electrolyte. Instead of the 500 cycles to wear down to 80% capacity, it could be 5000 cycles. The battery could easily last 10 years. The wait has been curiously long. No driving need for it I guess.

That's not the future. That's the past. Cloud storage companies always have language in their user agreements that allow scans for illegal content. Apple's terms have included that for many years.

The important sentence fragment: "as well as to use the materials (photos, videos et al) you submit for Apple internal purposes" Those internal purposes are left open-ended and unspecified. Review by a human, hopefully an Apple employee and not a contractor, may also be just as much an issue, or non-issue, for those under an NDA as it might be at Adobe.

The point here is that these conditions apply to material submitted to media services, like reviews and user contributions, not to the content of you iCloud disk or iPhone or Mac. They are pretty standard conditions for these kind of submission.

By the way, what Adobe says doesn't matter at all; legal terms are legal terms, and providing an worldwide exclusive license have a precise meaning, that no amount of explication from Adobe can change.

when savings interest rates decline, it is a sign that the economy is in decline.

T**** (the convicted felon and sexual predator)®™ sure can screw things up easily.

It's his plan.
