Be funny if the NFC chip could be used to Rick roll people…

I have at least a dozen little USB chargers piled in my kitchen junk drawer, along with a half dozen pair of corded earphones. While Brazil fines Apple for not including usually unneeded chargers, might the EU eventually levy fines for including them?

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Was thinking the same thing when I saw the title.

I have the 12 mini, and like the smaller size compared to the 7 I previously had.

Would like to see it just a tad smaller, with the stainless body, and the pro camera module.

I had a 4S and was skeptical of the size jump when upgrading to the 5S, but it felt just as natural in my hand as the 4S.  I was again skeptical of transitioning from the 5S to the 7, but thought to myself, “I liked the last size increase, I may be ok with this one…”, despite having tried holding several of my friends’ 6s and 6S’s.  I thought I’d get used to it… never did.  Always caused my hands and wrists to ache trying to one hand do things.  My favorite form factor is still the 5/5S, even after having the 12 mini form factor almost a year now.  But I can hear the people asking, “so why don’t you just use that one?” as my wife has asked me several times.  It’s no longer supported, the software is old, and the internals are old.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

Such is life.  Can never have your cake and eat it too.

I wonder how many people (not me, BTW...) are holding off because they still have some lingering doubt about CSAM ?

I’ve no idea what the slowness is attributed to.  I’d wager most “normal” people are not worried about on device CSAM detection, so I’d guess most will eventually upgrade.

I'm worried about CSAM, not because it can detect child porn, but because it can detect anything a government requires it to detect.  This is a classic slippery slope.

I’m with you: just see many of my previous comments on the matter.  I just think I’m in the minority.  I have no evidence to back that up; I know there are many on our side, but also many on the “don’t care, non issue” side.  Trouble is, I have no idea about how many care enough about this issue to not upgrade.  I have only anecdotal evidence, small sample size, and my gut feeling about the issue, which is essentially no evidence at all for the slow adoption rate.

I normally wait 1-2 months before upgrading, but I’m in the camp that will be staying on iOS 14 until I hear more about Apple plans on doing with on device CSAM detection.
