Some 'predators' are dumb. They'll keep using iPhones, get caught, and have their mugshots posted in the press. Great PR for the policy makers who decided this. Such stories will be shoved in the faces of the privacy advocates who were against it, to the detriment of their credibility.

Yeah, and a lot of shortsighted people (even here) will be happy, because they are not 'predators'.
Of course, they won't be shown photos of victims of brutal dictatorships like Russia, Belarus, China, etc. They love it that phone manufacturer keeps their phone free of malware.

They love it that phone manufacturer tells their phone free of malware.
Fixed that for you. See: Pegasus.

I'd argue that this update is spyware and malware. Policy-makers are counting on normies being accepting of law-enforcement malware if the crimes targeted are serious enough.
