> I think the goal of the T2 is to block Hackintosh and also to block hardware upgrades. Although there's no way for us to really know, I don't really think that's their priority. Sounds more like a side-effect. Consumers capable of assembling, installing and updating a Hackintosh are probably less than 0.1% of the entire Apple user-base. They are peanuts, from a merely commercial point of view. They also don't really need to prevent hardware upgrades with an enforcing chip. They are already preventing hardware upgrades by releasing hardware that physically cannot be upgraded. Just think about their laptops released in the last 5 years, with RAM blocks and SSDs soldered to the motherboard...
