This is pure BS. "Everyone in China is using WeChat anyway." Really? Chinese citizens don't use their iPhone cameras to store photos locally? They only use WeC

This is pure BS. "Everyone in China is using WeChat anyway." Really? Chinese citizens don't use their iPhone cameras to store photos locally? They only use WeChat to take pictures and store them? Gee, you should tell Apple AND Tencent this! It would dramatically shift their product development path. Where did Apple Messages come into play? What does that have to do with locally stored photos? "This feature isn't even being launched in China" -- yup. Apple has definitely never launched a feature first in the US then rolled it out worldwide. "But sorry to derail your narrative: China are the bad guys and all bad things are because of china." Who said that? Seems more like you've got a bias to apologize for the regime than anyone else has a bias to impugn it.
