I think it would work better as a feature if it only worked while the phone itself is plugged in and charging. This way it overcomes the inefficiencies of wireless transfer and the phone accidentally trying to charge something poorly aligned in your pocket. The real use case is being able to charge both a phone and watch (or airpods) overnight using a single charger.

Just remember kids: If you can’t afford to pay off your balance in full each month you can’t afford a credit card.

Same. I’ve has it paused for a while.  It hasn’t effected the quality of my searches that I have noticed.  I did try DDG but the results were not that great.

Same. I have no issues with Duck Duck Go and now use it exclusively on all my devices.

I'm amazed this happened so quickly.  Intel announces it's abandoning a line of business hours after the Apple-Qualcomm settlement?  What was the rush?  They must have thought the market was going to beat them up once Q got Apple's business, so they wanted to pull off the bandaid all at once?

That’s because it didn’t happen in that order. Apple was leveraging the lawsuit to achieve a fairer licensing agreement with Qualcomm. Intel would have told Apple they couldn’t deliver. Apple asked them not announce that as it would weaken their negotiations with Qualcomm. In the end Apple made the judgement that (regardless of the merit of their case) continued dispute with Qualcomm with no alternative puts their future business at risk. Apple most likely acquiesced entirely to Qualcomm’s demands. The messaging is being packaged is a ‘licensing agreement’ to save face.

My take on this is that their financial model charges more for concurrent streaming to multiple devices. As iOS 13 will allow multiple instances of the same app to be open on iPad you could theoretically airplay one video to a TV while watching a second video on the iPad using picture-in-picture mode.
