That’s why I self-host SearXNG. And have enabled several other “underdog” search engines like Mojeek and Marginalia. On my devices I’m using Redirect Web for Safari to send any search request to Ecosia (configured in my Safaris) to my SearXNG instance. Works great for me!

If you’ve just enabled Apple Intelligence, it’ll also go through all your Photos and detect objects, faces, pets, POIs, settings, etc.. Depending on the amount of photos, this can take a few days to complete. (Should only happen while the phone is connected to a charger, though.) During that time, some sluggishness is to be expected. However, after a few days, the phone should be snappy again.
At least I can’t notice any such issues on my 16 Pro. And I’m using AI since it became available in the Betas here in the UK.
Most often you’re not the only person noticing a problem. If all the feedback they get from the various different users isn’t enough, they’ll ask for details. But they might not ask you, but one of the 999 other people with that error. So, getting an actual reply from them is like winning the lottery.
However, there’s always a status displayed which might change to “Fix implemented in future iOS version” (or something alike). You can read this as “thanks, archiving”.
Fun fact: If you notice a bug being fixed in an update, you can close the feedback items yourself. And you can even add something nice like “thanks for fixing” before closing it.
But technology and production methods got way cheaper in the past few years…

Well, it still is end-to-end encrypted. Just from your end to Apple’s end. 😂
Funny enough I had activated the Advanced Protection (which deletes the iCloud encryption key from Apple’s servers) like a week before that UK thing went into effect. And since Apple isn’t allowed to talk about this, there’s no pressure to deactivate it again so far.
I’ve been there in the early days, when it was still called “Joyn” in Europe. That was around 2008/2009.
It's just that US carriers have partnered with Google to provide their RCS support.
Not sure if I’d call this “partnered”. AFAIK every carrier can provide their own RCS infrastructure via some data on the SIM. However, as Google wanted to push RCS, they’ve added a fallback to their own servers into the Android Messaging app. And I guess this then became somewhat of a “standard”.
And carriers are busy enough counting all that money we pay them, so they were happy to not having to do anything.
The AI bit is just for auto-detecting physical cards and create wallet cards from that or so. I’ve never used that.
What I usually do is to create Wallet passes myself. It’s, of course, not as easy and seamless as your solution, but I get nice beautiful wallet passes that pop up automatically when nearing the location and can be kept as a souvenir. I prefer the app MakePass for this as that one makes clean proper wallet passes.

If I interpret this toot correctly, there wasn’t a direct commit from a sanctioned region, but one developer was in one of those regions for a short while quite some time ago. And he may have been flagged because of this.
