Those are some weird-looking shoes.  The uppers are fine, but what's with that sole?

Just a guess, but to me they look like they’re for outdoor trail running.

Again, no mention on how Apple’s cases have no bottom lip across the front while most 3rd party cases do. That bottom lip is going to be a pain with the X considering all the swiping up that needs to be done to unlock the phone and get to the home screen. Apple’s 1st party cases may be the way to go until 3rd parties finally realize this. 

Make sure to consider the fact that the screen goes all the way to the bottom and the new gesture for getting to the home screen is swiping up from the bottom. Any case with a bottom lip may impead this expierence. I went with the Apple leather case for now just for this reason. Hopefully other manufacturers catch on, but it doesn’t look like they have out of the gate.

It's shady as hell, but it happens all the time with PC graphics cards. This was definitely the case when NVIDIA's Pascal card first starting shipping last year and this year with the Radeon RX Vega 56 and RX Vega 64. 

Not shady. It’s called free market capitalism. They tell you up front what they’re charging,

It can continue to use the camera even after the intended use is done and over. For instance from the Facebook app you take a pic to post. But if Facebook wanted to be evil that allows the app to continue recording images that you would not have explicitly authorized and continue doing so minute by minute with no way for a user to know it was happening. That's what he brought to Apple's attention. The camera permission does not restrict the camera use to only what the user would intend to grant it. 

Err, if the app is in foreground then it is actively used. How would you distinguish between "intended" and "unintended" use?

Well an obvious example would be if you did not intend for it to be surreptitiously taking a photo of you and your surroundings while your were using it, or while reading a news item in the feed not have any idea it was video-recording your reaction to it. 

You didn't answer the question. 'if the app is in foreground then it is actively used. How would you distinguish between "intended" and "unintended" use?'

You simply gave another off=the=wall hypothetical like: I discovered a new use for baseball bats. To break windows!!!! We should design baseball bats to know when they are being used to break a window and turn to water.

OK try this one. You're reading some Facebook posts. At the same time Facebook is secretly video-recording your reaction to them since you did give Facebook permission to use your camera every time you open their app. Would that be an intended use of yours or an unintended one? I believe that answers your question sir. 

You’re becoming desperate. I felt someone should tell you. 

You’re dense. If I’m in the Facebook app and using the built in camera to take a picutre to post, that is an intended use of the camera and microphone in the app. Once I’m done taking the picture and exit the camera app to resume reading other posts I DO NOT want the Facebook app to access the camera or microphone anymore. Any use of the camera or microphone outside of using the built in camera app, for me at least, is unintended access. Maybe you don’t care about this, but other people do because I want to know when the camera and microphone is being used in the background.
