Before accessories, Apple was in the fashion software business, hosting and promoting boutique software frameworks like smalltalk. Before then, they were a real computer company with the Apple 2, but that was a loooong time ago.
Most tablets run a toy operating system with no real filesystem and limited storage options. Many of them don't even support real removable storage. They don't have a USB host connector.
Can't the police come up with a trivial opaque 'evidence' sticker to immediately place over the front facing camera on Iphones? They could just make certain to all carry said stickers and be ready to use them.
"When encryption is outlawed, only paedophiles and terrorists will use encryption."
-Adapted from a gun rights advocacy slogan.
And really... if exceptions are carved out for a few limited forms of traffic, like financial transactions in specific channels, the only encrypted traffic would point right at the criminals. Of course, no more playing 'stateless-anonymous' games on the Internet. Very few regular people will have a problem with that.
Australia is an English speaking country where Apple's virtue signaling measures can be transmitted back to the US without even needing translation. China? Not so much.
I am definitely in on this 'protest,' I already have no banking apps whatsoever. Every few months I buy another booklet of stamps, and use checks to pay my bills. Why would I carry around a gadget that can be broken into to steal my money?
Actually it will become trivial to find the crooks. They will be the only ones trafficking encrypted messages. Remember, Al Capone was busted for tax evasion.
One would think that if software was improving, and getting better, that newer versions of software would run better and faster on the same hardware. Communications tasks like reading and displaying pictures are really not that challenging. Even viewing multimedia and video are solved problems for the most part. One of the disappointments of Open Source is that it hasn't driven us towards this sort of convergence.
The physical copy has real value, and always should have value above 'online purchased' copies.
If the game vendor wants the online copy to retain value better, that's their responsibility and they need to figure out what to do to keep the value up. It's not our responsibly as taxpayers to subsidize the 'value' of online purchases.
When I went to college in 1979 the school used our SSN as our student ID. There was a directory you could look in that listed all the students and their ID number. The ID number was used to check books out of the library.

...just like bitcoin itself.
Ideas from Apple like a touchscreen system that runs a non-toy operating system? When, if ever, will Apple do something like that?

The only reason to go Apple is because it's the sole proprietary platform you can use to write apps for their profitable gadget, the Iphone.
Dozens of groups have covered the Clash's song.
They got degrees in applied Taylorism.
It isn't difficult to figure out the term for the 'evil' essence of an MBA degree, but few people use it to describe them.
There are a lot of people who call other people 'liberal' or 'conservative' who don't have a fucking clue.
I said something about a standardized package. Not a dilettante package.
Clash song. Not D.K.

but your next.
What about my next? It's unclear what you meant.
I am definitely in on this 'protest,' I already have no banking apps whatsoever. Every few months I buy another booklet of stamps, and use checks to pay my bills. Why would I carry around a gadget that can be broken into to steal my money?
Actually it will become trivial to find the crooks. They will be the only ones trafficking encrypted messages. Remember, Al Capone was busted for tax evasion.
However, it then becomes a no-brainer to find the criminals. Simply search the data stream for encrypted content.
Apple can then more than make up for the lost sales in Australia with increased sales in China. The PR angle in this is awesome.
Not really. There are many other pleasant forms of having sex that don't involve a lot of direct contact with feces.

I like Plex.tar.gz as a standard package format.
To install, you'd type:
tar -xzvf Plex.tar.gz
cd Plex
make config
make
make install
Not really, it doesn't need 'regulation.'

With Ham Radio, the software often is manipulable by the Ham operators. That's part of the point of Ham radio.
People would need to think of themselves as a victim to be a victim.
Yes, it can be lucrative to think of yourself as a victim in hindsight.
