Should be possible. Encrypted DVB-S providers can also lock/unlock single smartcards.
And it is pretty common that said smartcards get 'cracked', and then they have to reissue new cards to all viewers and switch to a new master crypto key. If even one legacy card remained in use, then attackers could use that card to dump the key used for the video stream and publish it online.
It's usually not that simple. Yes there is card sharing, but you need to have the card active for that. But card sharing is not "cracking" obviously. Also, you don't store the "master key" on the card, obviously.

I think people are simply surprised that Apple is just now getting around to this, given that it's been a common feature in high end Android phones for quite a while now. OP did not say that Apple phones were worse, you inferred that.
adding in a "...only now implemented by Apple in their top of the line..." and a sarcastic "Neat." right after that sentence make it pretty clear what the poster was implying
That does not imply that on the whole Apple phones aren't good phones. Just that it's surprising they haven't implemented this bog standard feature.

GPS assumes* light travels in a straight line, which it doesn't due to atmospheric effects and reflections off buildings. L5 is a second frequency from the same satellites, which is affected by these problems differently, so the chip can compare the differences between the two signals and guess what's up with the atmosphere and buildings / throw out the dumber looking signal. It's also mostly independent so it's more…
I’ve anecdotally found that GPS is much worse in dense cities like New York than in sparse ones like Tucson. Hopefully my next phone will give me better location results.
This is so real. Last weekend I made it blocks down the road in downtown Atlanta before my phone got a lock worth using.

Are they leapfrogging their competition or just keeping pace with the first place going alternatively to Apple and Android chips every generation where simply the newest chip is the fastest?
When was the last time a Qualcomm (let alone an Exynos or Kirin etc) was faster than the Ax of that year? I can't even remember. Any ideas?
I don't know, but assuming the answer is never I got response to my original question.
Apple is ahead in the amount of money they fleeced from US market, core fanbase satisfaction and CPU speeds.
That's not nothing.
