It wouldn’t cost Google much for the couple of dozen Pixel phones that they sell every year.

Find My is a great feature. Glad it was able to save someone in this case.
Are you referring to the users who don’t avail of today’s technology and who don’t turn on Find My?
Steve Jobs isn’t engaging in anything these days.
Nice find!
Cracks me up so many angry people here think Apple was being greedy and underhanded for not downloading a firmware update for older iPhones and getting the same crash detection and emergency notification functionality as the iPhone 14. I've been keeping an old iPhone 6+ around in a drawer just for that eventuality. Curses...foiled again.
That said, I'm really steamed at Apple, knowing my 5K Apple Studio Display really has a 6K LCD panel inside the case, and a firmware download would easily unlock that resolution. PURE GREED!
I have an iPod Shuffle that Apple never enabled the optical output on. I read somewhere (maybe reddit?) that ALL iPod Shuffles are capable of 7.1 digital surround sound with 4k video playback, but Apple didn’t enable it so that, years later, they could sell folks Apple TV’s that they don’t even need!
