It is notable how quickly Apple pushed this fix out. But more detail and addressing consumer concerns would go a longer way than this single explanation they provided:
This update provides important bug fixes and addresses a rare issue where photos that experienced database corruption could reappear in the Photos library even if they were deleted.
Apple needn't do anything Apple Enthusiasts will lap up any bullshit Apple can dish out. Apple and its products are sacrosanct to the average Apple buyer.
Criticism is due. The relationship between proprietary software and privacy shouldn't put trade secrets over personal secrets. A "we totally weren't just secretly keeping all your pics for AI training or whatever" isn't enough of an answer.
The EU should take Apple to court over this for violating the GDPR.
If they aren't deleting user data the user has deleted, especially old data that should've been flushed from all redundancy and resiliency measures years ago (backups, indexes, caches, etc), then they should be fined billions.
Agreed. Even if it was an accident(I don't buy it), you don't get away with other crimes by claiming it's an accident. This is a matter of responsibility!
Nothing prevents them from answering questions or making an blog post or announcement to talk about the issue. Not necessarily in the update change notes, but at least somewhere. It’s not like they can’t.

I'm impressed the verge was able to refer to the issue without using the word nudes in the headline.

I agree that they need to better explain what the hell happened without making the fucking media break it down for us:
Apple says iOS 17.5.1 fixes ‘rare’ bug that caused deleted photos to return

Oh yeah, Apple will definitely plea the 5th. They aren't about to roast their own bacon.

No, it's like they won't. Cost / benefit says no...
