So mean of the USA!  Bombing peaceful neighbouring countries is much more polite.

No hypocrisy there at all.  America never bombs other countries or invades and topples other governments, even on false pretexts.  And America had nothing to do with Ukraine's 2014 coup either.  And it didn't state explicitly its plan to balkanize Russia as a prelude to war with China which it can't compete against.

What a bizarre, meandering diatribe against common sense.  Apple pro-actively included it

I can't even understand the point your trying to make here 

There is an anti-feminist push to erase women's liberation by literally taking the term for men.  Men are breaking records in women's sports.  You must use she/her pronouns for men if they request it.  Trans has completely eclipsed gay and lesbian liberation and women's liberation.  If you don't go along with this absurd agenda, you're ostracized as "transphobic" and that reaction is so intense and ubiquitous that most people have been intimidated into silence.  Women are adult human females, and trans women are men.  Men are adult human males, and trans men are women.  This is not hate speech.  It is just stating the obvious, mundane truth.  A top down push from billionaires funding trans ideology is trying to replace sex with "gender identity", a reversion to old sexist stereotypes, and gay conversion therapy, literally on steroids.  It's almost successful, and has taken over liberal polite society, even when most liberals disagree completely.  It sterilizes children.  40,000 girls are lined up on GoFundMe to get their healthy breasts chopped off.  This is the lobotomy of our age and people in the future will wonder how we let it happen.  Have you seen the "nullification surgery" for non-binaries? https://www.alignsurgical.com/gallery/gender-expansive-bottom-surgery/03/

Because it is illiberal and opposed by the vast majority, right and left, numerous forms of gaslighting and manipulation are employed to work it into the mainstream anyway.  This is just another example.  It only makes sense in that context.

Well, that is show stopper if you want to travel to foreign country and use store purchased SIM card with local phone number. Not all providers support eSIM. Good luck with iPhone. Want to know how much roaming and data services cost overseas even if you enable special travel program? Just check with AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile. Learn for yourself. It looks like Apple would not leave people any option, but buy Android. Heck, some of them still may allow even flash card to extend storage memory unlike iPhone.

Google Fi works on iPhone with an eSim and  doesn’t charge anything extra to use internationally.

LOL I can't wait to hear the contortions of people ... that hate private US companies from doing any business outside the US, especially in China.

I buy from non-dictatorships any time I can, even when it costs more. But I don't hate. Don't make it sounds that I'm motivated by hate. I'm motivated by love for freedom and democracy. 

If you want to imagine that I'm motivated by hate, I guess that's your right to be wrong.

Are you an American? You are illogical. You do not live in China. Why are you afraid of losing freedom and democracy because of China? 

Gee, if only the PRC would limit itself to occupying Mainland China.

Instead, it's all about invading Taiwan, occupying the South China Sea, and the First Island Chain, as if those were exclusive economic zones for the PRC. Moreover, the PRC is more than happy to export its brand of authoritarianism. Fortunately, the West is quite aware of the PRC's broad expansionist plans, and while late to constrain the PRC, the West is strengthening alliances to resist that expansionism, both militarily and economically.

Meanwhile, the PRC has a limited timeframe to do all of this before its heavily senior demographics overwhelms its shrinking working population, all with a birth rate that is too little to maintain the population. It's probable that the PRC won't ever be a rich country, and can expect its population to halve by 2060.

What the West is concerned about is that Xi will launch an invasion of Taiwan by 2025, and will attempt to challenge the West's military supremacy in the Pacific in this decade, but that risk diminishes by 2035.

Both the PRC and Taiwan officially consider themselves to be the governments of ALL of China.
You can't invade your own country.  This is an internal matter between factions within China, part of a stalemate in a civil war, and it is wildly inappropriate for the USA to be dictating who should prevail.  It should be up to the Chinese people to forge their own destiny.

How does one know if a track has spatial audio?

I can’t see any indication in Music.   Is there a particular song anyone knows that works?

there are a ton of articles announcing this but nothing describing how to try it out beyond a mention that some big name artists have unspecified tracks that I guess you’re supposed to go listening for.
