They threatened to & then followed through turning off Advanced Data Protection in the UK and removed the features, pointing to the pending laws in that region. Apple does not seem to have a reputation for bluffing.

I've used DeX on and off on Samsung devices since my Tab S3 and Note 9 ... so a long time. DeX is pretty polished. I have met zero other DeX users, but know a ton of people with devices that support it. I currently have two extra docks

The Mac App Store is such a wasteland. I don't know why Apple doesn't provide it a budget and some real human curation. The average person searching for Microsoft Word, which is on the App Store, gets screens of templates and junk
