Hmm... Interesting. Thanks for the explanation. I'm still not 100% convinced that Apple's only trying to sell devices and not data, but I understand your points.

Re: your note [7] "And then make it available to law enforcement", from the same site http://qz.com/620423/heres-how-often-apple-google-and-others... , Apple handed the data over more often than google, but just received less requests?

I'm just scared of everything nowadays...
