For anyone wondering, this was supposed to be the release where Apple could scan your photos for child abuse. This was delayed for this release: https://www.techradar.com/news/apple-delays-child-abuse-phot...

I wonder if upgrading to iOS 15 will increase the chance of receiving this spyware when they do roll it out? I mean 15.X - 15.Y will likely occur automatically while the phone is connected to WiFi and charging.. but 14 to 15 should require user approval, meaning we should be safe as long as we never upgrade >14..?

Either turn off automatic updates or don't. You're overanalyzing this.

Apple Maps is so close to being a fantastic app, but is sorely missing “search along route” that Google has. Right now, you can press the “coffee” or “gas” button but there’s no way to say, search for a CVS on the way back home from work. I really wish Apple added this instead of just suggesting searches that might be useful.

That and reporting accidents and items like that (unless those are in the release - haven't dove into it much).

You can do that already since 14.5. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212226

But only in the US and mainland China for some bizarre reason.

Did they removed the code? commented it or defaulted it to off for now but the code is there and ready to scan.

Reporting accidents, hazards, and speed traps has been in there since iOS 14.

Uuh, I wonder how visual lookup will compare to Google Lens. I almost never use google assistant because of privacy concerns, and having it done locally sounds wonderful. (Although, on a second look, the website doesn't mention whether it's local or not. I just know Siri is now partly done on device).

I honestly doubt it. They will likely roll this out to both latest versions. I think they said as much.

If you look at it as reducing their liability for hosting CSAM, then more likely it’ll become a requirement at some point in order to upload your photos to iCloud at all, no matter which version of iOS you’re on.

My phone is the electronic device I use the most (not counting my work laptop, which I don't own), so I'm going to wait a couple of days to make sure there are no glaring issues before I install the update.

I've been using iOS 15 for a month or more, and I've had no glaring issues aside from Exposure Notification using excessive battery usage.

Gotcha - wow I guess I have really not been using Apple Maps (or any maps application) for some time then if I didn't notice that...

Thanks
