How shocking that a private American corporation should be required to comply with the laws of another - OMG - sovereign nation.  Who needs that - our corporations and our government should of course dictate how every other country should handle their internal affairs. We know best for everyone!

Correct- we forget that American companies operate in non-US jurisdictions too and so local laws apply. It’s massively cringeworthy to have Apple promote privacy in every keynote and at the same time bend over backwards to appease the CCP- but China is a huge market and it has its rules. And as long as the rules China sets for companies don’t leave its borders, I’m fine with it. So far, Apple seems to have avoided the controversies of the NBA and Hollywood movies. Let hope it continues. 

“Due to local regulations” is short for “countries run by authoritarians”

Excellent integration and active development.

Why do you continue to describe as a "controversial feature" something that should have been there since day one, which is asking people consent with how their data is used?

Everyone is up in arms about AirPods, including Max not supporting lossless but the reality is that spacial audio will be FAR easier to hear and appreciate than lossless, even if AirPods Max or HomePod were to support that. Lossless is largely a marketing thing for Apple - they can claim their ENTIRE catalog is lossless, not that they have a "HiFi" or "Ultra" tier that costs more. I'm much more excited about Spacial Audio - if that works as well as on video, it will be transformational.
