Um - what? Signal will have been (or will be in the future) the recipient of a midnight knock at the door by someone holding a court order to provide them access to the encryption. Personally I couldn’t care less since I don’t do anything interesting (or dodgy) in my spare time, but no one should be under the illusion that this is completely impenetrable.

Barring a flaw in the protocol itself, this isn't really possible. The core concept of end-to-end encryption is that the only parties capable of reading messages are the parties sending the messages, because they generate the keypairs directly. You can't have a "master key."

I do wish AI and other blogs would cease placing images of the Car.  Given no one knows if it even exists let alone looks like, why use stock images that will be taken as fact by half the population?

That is a picture of a BMW i3....

Almost everyone in this thread is so myopic as to border on blind.

What's the #1 cause of people keeping cable? Sports. How better to convince people who are thinking of cutting the cord to do so with an Apple TV than to show Kobe Bryant using it to get NBA highlights?

Calling Kuo a "well-connected insider" is not helping casual readers or any readers at all. Why?  Because it is totally FALSE and a flat out LIE.  By definition an insider is someone WHO ACTUALLY WORKS AT APPLE or HOLDS SIGNIFICANT OWNERSHIP OF APPLE. PERIOD. 
...
Kuo is a guy who has a bunch of contacts to Apple supply chain vendors. Thats it. Calling him anything else is ridiculous and misleading.

"A guy with a bunch of contacts" is well within the colloquial definition of "insider. [1]" Your constant attempts to narrowly define the English language to fit within your own narrative are as or more deceiving than whatever you constantly bitch about the AI staff doing.

1. http://www.dictionary.com/browse/insider "a person belonging to a limited circle of persons who understand theactual facts in a situation or share private knowledge"

If you want the "daylight to dusk" effect, there are apps that do this better than Apple's. One of them is f.lux. The notion that Apple discovered something new, or that their misguided app will help you is laughable.

f.lux is mentioned in literally the second sentence. jesus.
