    Do we know if this is going to be implemented per device or it’s done via geolocation or something? I skimmed the article, didn’t seem to say besides “don’t get excited if you’re outside of Europe” or something to that effect. Basically wondering if this benefit can be gained in the future by importing a phone.

    My dislike of Apple is… decades old. But Google sucks too. I need to dig into how Apple treats privacy (someone mentioned that it might not be great on another of these posts) and see how the software ecosystem outside of the Apple store shakes out. I’m hopefully several years out from needing a phone replacement, so I can wait and see how it goes.

      Well Google sucks but at least they opened the door to sideloading and open-sourced Android so things like Graphene and LineageOS exist. You don’t have to put up with the spying. Apple spies less, but whatever is there is unavoidable right now. Same with controlling what you’re allowed to put on your phone.
