My question is, who has funded this feature all the way from PoC to product? How did Apple calculate the ROI on this feature?
It’s not like end users are tripping over themselves to have all their photos scanned. Does Apple just have gobs of money to burn on things like this that will not increase its bottom line by even one penny?
There is probably funded from somewhere, and I’d like to know who is paying for it.
Probably, as other commenters have said, a mix of behind-the-scenes political pressure to give feds access to phone data for people they’re interested in and an effort to get them to back down on anti-trust and other things that governments are realizing they can milk tech companies for more money on.
