Users of iPhones in mainland China who updated their iOS software this week can send or receive files from non-contacts for only up to 10 minutes after manually selecting a new “Everyone for 10 minutes” option, according to tests performed by CNN’s Beijing bureau. Users not in China face no such restriction and are able to receive files wirelessly from anyone, including people who are not contacts.
On that day, shortly before Xi secured a precedent-breaking third term, two banners were hung on an overpass of a major thoroughfare in the northwest of Beijing, protesting against Xi’s zero-Covid policy and authoritarian rule.

If Apple did it for 'user experience', why is this function only for Chinese region? Apparently users in the U.S. also 'need' this change.
aka Democratic iPhones only available outside of communist & authoritarian governments.
apple is continuously siding with a totalitarian regime against people fighting, being jailed for, and dying in a struggle for Democratic principles and personal freedom. Is a buck really that important to you?
Apple is pretty good in climbing deep in China's anus for their shitty iPhones which they market for 'privacy' everywhere but of course only if you're not a Chinese or Russia citizen. Apple - the worst company on earth together with Glencore and Nestlé.
I wonder what Jobs & Woz would've done differently, if they'd know back in '76 that the company they were starting would one day be complicit with brutal totalitarian regimes and mass human rights abuses
