If you are someone who may potentially require security against state agencies, such as an environmental or human rights activist or leftist political organizer, you should be avoiding Apple entirely and running something like CalyxOS with no social media. If you want to keep using an iPhone and security is a concern turn off iCloud device backups and back up locally to your own computer, otherwise Apple holds the keys to your little data castle and will happily share them with law enforcement. Apple has had industry leading surface level privacy protection against things like Facebook and provide a strong compromise between user convenience/features and privacy for most boring normies, but if you’re going to be doing dangerous things like trying to protect the environment or poor people you’re going to want to sacrifice some convenience and niceness for better security.

Can you post some examples of Apple doing this? I'm genuinely curious because governments still bitch about Apple not handing them data they want.

I don't really want a 13 mini but I'm terrified there won't be a 14 mini and the 13 mini only exists through obligation. Apple finally released an iPhone in the Correct Size and everybody slept on it apparently.

Good deals/refurbs to be had. P much everything the 13 does that you would care about, minus the screen getting a bit brighter and the battery running an hour longer better shades of blue

Is there some law that an Apple device can't have both FaceID and TouchID in one? Since it doesn't look like masks are going anywhere anytime soon, I'd gladly give up every other upgrade to have loving TouchID again.
