Nevertheless,
- was this change in response to the protests?
- was this change only for Chinese users?
- jaywalk 4y agoI'm sure it was in response to the protests. Apple said it's rolling out worldwide, but starting in China.
- flappyeagle 4y agoI've received random dick picks often enough on airdrop that I have turned it to contacts only, and so has every female friend of mine that I know of. The primary usecase of allowing everyone to send at all times seems like mass organization
- threeseed 4y agoThe timeline doesn't match up with it being in response to the protests. Apple needs time to design, implement and test changes even small ones.
- brookst 4y agoYes, but they’re sure ;)
- jaywalk 4y agoDespite your snark and the downvotes, I am still sure. It's a tiny change in the grand scheme, and it's pretty conveniently being rolled out in China first.
- brookst 4y agoAnd the fact that the timelines mean Apple must have retroactively pushed code into the past. . . That doesn’t bother you at all?
- jaywalk 4y agoJudging by the bugginess of recent iOS releases, I'm not sure they take too much time for testing.
- dagmx 4y agoThis change landed in iOS 16 which launched a few months ago so was not rushed for these protests.
- quenix 4y agoMore precisely, 16.1, a month before the protests. Suspicious that it was China-only.
- neodypsis 4y agoAlso: why don't give users both options? Is up to the user to decide which to use. Make it 10 minutes the default but leave the unlimited option available.
- gambiting 4y agoThat's not how apple works - they always pick one option(or a very small set of options) and basically tell the users these are the best options, if you don't like it you're welcome to leave.
- neodypsis 4y agoThis would mostly make sense for hardware options, but less so in this specific case of a software feature that previously was available.
