Interestingly, this kind of tech is an excellent response to Chinaâ(TM)s nosiness. Other smartphone OSes, and their related services in China, are an open book to the government. With the process described in the link, the government could discover that some X percentage of users are messaging on topics the government deems taboo. However they wonâ(TM)t know who is doing that.

Itâ(TM)s possible China will ban this technology all together, as it wonâ(TM)t provide the level of surveillance they have today. The other possibility would be China demands the data sets be segregated by small geographic areas, which would de-anonymize the data to some extent. They could then see if any particular city has a high rate of âoeanti-communist thinkingâ, but still not identify individuals. The question becomes, if China demands that, what is Appleâ(TM)s response?

Exactly. It will be just like when a freezer breaks and the store is forever stuck with a giant waste of space. Oh wait, it seems theyâ(TM)ve already figured out how to deal with thing like this. The box will sit there until they figure out a new way to make money from the space, at that point it will disappear.
