Media is so biased when it comes to Israel. Ron Paul asked "Why is criticizing Israel is career suicide?". Israel has been an apartheid state for over 75 years, confirmed by Amnesty International, Israel's own human rights org B'TSelem, Jimmy Carter, Roger Waters, Ron Paul, Prof. Finkelstein, and countless others. Other Palestinian Territories don't have Hamas and its people are still murdered by the thousands then get their lands confiscated. The IDF conveniently labels anyone who do not agree with them as either terrorists or anti semitists (ironically Palestinians are semites too).
It's sad seeing Google and Apple comply by such violent and racist group like the IDF.

• Opening iMessage to 3rd party will ultimately remove any security measures Apple implemented.

• Apple is on the USB committee but couldn't convince them to adopt the reversible USB standard they designed. They eventually caved in after seeing Lightning:

According to noted Apple pundit John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Apple was the singular driver behind the USB-C standard. Gruber said this on the latest episode of his podcast, The Talk Show:

“I have heard, I can’t say who but lets call them informed little birdies, that USB-C is an Apple invention and that they gave it to the standards bodies … and that the politics of such is that they can’t really say that. They’re not going to come out in public and say that but that they did. It is an Apple invention and they want it to become a standard.

“What I’ve heard is that it’s an Apple invention that was sort of developed alongside Lightning and that they donated, they gave to the standards bodies because they want the industry standard to be thin enough for their devices and they want it to be reversible.”

I believe the main reason for deprecating Trailers is the fact that the Apple TV app on smart TVs does not allow app stores where you can download apps like YouTube and MAX. And since the trailer is a standalone app it can't be downloaded in Apple TV on smart TVs. So they just plopped it in the Apple TV app.

Yup... I recently bought a smart TV that has the Apple TV app but I ended up buying the Apple TV hardware anyways since it was missing stuff, and ran slower.

It is NOT a “temporary check before their
account was officially opened”.  That makes no sense.  You can’t draw on accounts that are t opened. 

What this is is a “counter check.” Such checks are blank and have the account and routing numbers added at the branch and are used while awaiting the actual printed checks (which in those days came from the bank most of the time).  After the account is officially opened. 

Called a “counter check” because they are issued over-the-counter by the branch to the account holder of a new account.

I used counter checks before, I remember having to handwrite my account number in a blank area on the check, I do not remember the number being printed on the check.
Having said that, when I opened a new business bank account they had packages with reserved account numbers that comes with 50 pre-printed checks. They would hand those to you and you're ready to get going on day one.

Apple will only want Disney studios and their treasure trove of patents in AI and visual effects. However Disney won't not be willing to let go of that department alone.
