For example, apps frequently store temporary data, and a restart clears out this clutter, allowing your iPhone to run more efficiently.

This doesn’t make sense. Apps are sandboxed so can’t affect other apps, and one of the design tradeoffs of iOS, unlike MacOS, is that iOS heavily polices apps, terminating apps which go over resource limits. In general the OS is designed so that apps don’t run in the background aside from specific narrowly designed sub processes, like playing music, which are even more heavily policed by the OS with stricter limits. The reason iOS didn’t implement virtual memory for so long is that it didn’t need it - all apps had to be designed to assume termination if they were ever backgrounded.

Another advantage of frequent reboots is security. Restarting your device refreshes system processes, which can reduce the risk of vulnerabilities being exploited.

This also doesn’t make sense. As per the link, the security benefit exists before first unlock (BFU). As soon as the user unlocks the phone (AFU) that benefit is gone, so a regular reboot after which you unlock is pointless as far as this justification is concerned.

While Apple's security measures are robust, a rebooting automation adds an extra layer of protection by interrupting any potential malicious activity that might rely on an extended session.

Spyware on an iPhone? The exploits to install these cost millions. If you’re a journalist, politician, human rights activist, or something similar then perhaps you might be targeted and should be running in Lockdown mode. No one else should be worrying about this.

Still working with my UK account.

The Vision is very much the equivalent of a desktop computer (no Apple Maps, fitness apps, no cellular/GPS hardware etc.) likely because the risk of the device crashing/losing power resulting in blind user and a literal crash is too high. Perhaps once the glasses exist, which will presumably have actual pass-through rather than via cameras, this functionality will be added resulting in a more mobile, laptop/iPhone like experience.

Has anyone who is against Apple’s CSAM plans proposed an alternative solution, especially taking into account the scenario where Apple enables end-to-end encryption on iCloud?

As my boss would say “don’t come to me with problems, come to me with solutions” but the only alternative solution I’ve heard so far is don’t do anything. 

I don’t see any concerns being addressed in the memo, only mentioned.
