Who has audited these claims by Apple? Is there a governmental authority that does so?

> that cannot be accessed by the operating system or by Apple

Does any third party periodically verify and audit this claim?

— or —

Do we blindly "just trust Apple, bro"?

Insurance for transiting oil is primary culprit, along with supply shocks when pipelines or refineries get hit.

Apple claims to be the privacy king. They deserve scrutiny.

Yeah, but I'm not really sure.

There's a perfectly good use case of using this device unfolded with their kickstand powered folio case and a portable keyboard — While getting some zoom calls and productivity / work done.

That may be right, I was referring to list price, which is identical between Apple and Samsung. (I'm located in EU)

With Samsung, they're going to heavily discount it over the holiday season.

With Apple, the device is actually going to retain its value in the second hand market.

So there's this value argument that can swing both ways.

I'm okay with the lack of face ID. Fingerprint unlock power button works perfectly well for me.

Did they mention MagSafe?

I'm not sure if they mentioned MagSafe for the iPhone Duo.

That could be a deal breaker.
