Why HN links it

Linked in HN threads on Nest camera indicator lights and the M1 GPU to explain that Japan's iPhone camera shutter sound is a carrier requirement rather than a law. Commenters cite it as background.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

Usually more extended thoughts by Michael Camilleri.

    Here’s an article that seems to explain this better. Not sure if it is accurate, but I think it is. TLDR; it is a carrier requirement for the market. Not a law, but still a required feature. https://articles.inqk.net/2018/02/09/japan-iphone-shutter.ht...

    I believe that's true in Korea (or at least the govt regulators ask for it) but it's always been a carrier cartel thing in Japan. https://articles.inqk.net/2018/02/09/japan-iphone-shutter.ht...
