I agree.  I was and still am against on device CSAM detection.  I’m ok if CSAM detection happens in the cloud, however… their house, their rules. On device CSAM necessitates the circumvention of encryption to report to a 3rd originally unintended party the data that is in violation of the rules.

I don't follow your logic. CSAM detection is OK if it's done on someone else's computer (Apple's Server in the cloud) but not if it's done on your own phone? If it's done on your phone, you then get the warning and no-one else can tell (unless you keep doing it, which is my memory of what Apple proposed). If it's done on someone else's server then the data is present somewhere out of your control.

I also don't understand what encryption you think is being "circumvented". The data on your phone is encrypted but, within the phone, the encryption keys are available and the data unlocked: if it wasn't, how would Photos be able to display your photos to you? 

As I’ve said before: I treat anything I send to iCloud photos as public knowledge (Even if it’s meant only for friends and family).  Anything I want to keep private stays on my devices. On device scanning and reporting encroaches on that privacy (even given the current software “limitations” of thresholds and only done when sent to iCloud)… so, given that, I would much rather the CSAM reporting stay server side.

Apple integrates as much as possible onto one chip, for power and performance reasons.  I'm sure they plan to continue this trend.  Requiring separate replaceable components may prevent good design.

They won't integrate the battery, screen, backplate, antenna, speakers, connectors, motors, storage memory, cameras, sensors and many other elements into one chip any time soon. 

There is a lot that can be done to make devices more accessible (less labour time on repair as a result) and easier to repair and upgrade. 

Yeah - welcome to the plethora of crappy Android hardware.

How did you reach that conclusion? 

Top end Android hardware and design has long been up there with Apple - or better!

You don't think longer warranties could improve things at the low end?

Hope it works out for Apple. 

I personally have stopped watching pro sports.  Almost anything else I have to do is more interesting and useful than pro sports on the boobtube.  Bunch of overpaid boys (or girls depending on the sport) who think they (and their opinion) are vitally important to the well being of the world… 

Ymmv

Actually in terms of revenue generated pro athletes are underpaid. My problem with pro sports are the owners who leech off half or more of the revenue. 

Not a fan a free speech ehh?

They are welcome to believe and campaign for whatever they want.  During their job (playing the sport) is not necessarily the place for it.  If their employer allows it, then maybe, fine.  If the employer says, "Knock it off!", then they should & do it on their own time.  And then there should be some consideration for the fans.  Did they come to watch a sporting event/competition, or some wealthy sports player pontificate? 

The sports player should also consider what they do on their own time.  It certainly will impact sports fans wanting to continue watching them play sport, or not.

Weirdly, there seems to be a significant correlation between the folks who are quick to say "shut up and entertain me" when they don't like the message and the folks who elect entertainment figures to public office when they do like the message.

Excellent news. Now it's time for 'design for repair'.

The warranty extension is a great idea but there will be devils in the details for sure, just as there are at the moment. 

The first industry to get this treatment will probably be the textile industry with requirements for longer lasting garments. 

Another great move, away from the 'use and wash three times' and throw away. 

Design for repair? Can’t wait to see an iPhone designed by the EU, can you?

It wouldn't be designed by the EU. Each manufacturer would simply have to take into account certain aspects that would facilitate repair or enhancement.
