Yes but it's still more of a toy than actually worth using.

It'll get there eventually, it always does.

I think what's worrying is what the landscape will look like when it's done. E-sims are a very bad sign for the future. It gives much more granular choices in what phones they permit on the network.

I worry that as long as Apple is out here spouting bullshit about scanning people's messages to protect them from "nudes", eventually we'll reach a place where any phone that isn't actively monitoring its user will be perceived as doing something criminal and blocked out.

Just a moment to note that Apple backtracked on all those threats about CSAM scanning and now doesn't support the technology being implemented.

You mean the EU and German government proposals for a few years? :/ Luckily courts block that so far but who knows what will be next and where in it will happen!
