Macworld has an interesting point I might have missed in the other articles:

The company is therefore relying on a new technology called NeuralHash that will check to see if an image uploaded to iCloud matches known child abuse imagery, without decrypting the photo. It works entirely on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac by converting photos into a unique string of letters and numbers (a “hash”). Normally, any slight change to a photo would result in a different hash, but Apple’s technology is said to be such that small alterations (like a crop) will still result in the same hash.

This would imply they would have to see more than just a bit of the image or generate multiple "base hash" or "reference hash" values to compare. If a crop is able to still be picked up as a hash then there is some secret sauce going on.
