There I wish there was a third option, in addition to like and informative, not informative.

This does not fit the definition of spy. 

Pretty sure it does. China is relentless in their industrial espionage efforts. Why they have most favored nation status by the US is beyond me.

Since iPhones back to the iPhone 12 are capable of this function, I wonder if they will eventually open that option.  I have a feeling the answer to that will be no, to encourage people to upgrade, and because the satellite system used likely is concerned it won't have the capacity to handle the sos messages from that many iPhones in times of natural disaster where millions may be affected 

If apple puts ads in core is apps, I'm  out.  That cheapens the product and knocks them down closer to the slime that is google. That would take the premium away from the product, so the only way it would be worth getting an iPhone is of they cut the price in half, or gave it away. I value not seeing BS ads and being spammed. 

Are they going to tax air, tears, perspiration, farts, extra tax on toilet paper?  I have no desire to live in a large city.  These stupid taxes are  just a way to make up for poor decisions and fiscal irresponsibility.  Internet services already has taxes on it.  So, the crap they are pulling is equivalent to taxing cable tv, then taxing you  for each channel you want to watch.
