If anyone uses any speaker phone anywhere, it is easy for anyone to eavesdrop. Likewise for any conferencing applications.

Slightly off topic, but worth noting:

Remember how many cracked screens we used to see on iPhones? Not so much anymore by my completely unscientific sampling techniques. And people are holding onto their iPhones longer these. 

Nothing new. Its Apple's core values: Making products that just work. Optimizing for "rest of us", not the techies. It seems fair to me to let outlier folks repair iPhones on their own and NOT require Apple to warrantee those iPhones.

At current XR prices this would be great. Just came back from a family celebration. My XS (not max) photos were great. The other smartphones all produced bad pictures, blurry, lacking HDR, splashy back-lit effects, terrible low-light performance. It the camera, not the photographer.

Apple gets it. Their 'shot on iPhone' ad campaigns drive this home.

Smart move by WSJ, to compete with NYT and WP as well as global competitors.

We all 'get it'. Privacy is a human right. But the ad will play to the false narrative that it's about Apple's brand. Concern.
