Hardware-wise, they are top! Privacy-wise, they've done plenty, but there is significant improvemens to be made!
I appreciate the alert when an app tries to grab my contacts/calendar/location.
On the other hand I DO NOT appreciate, when an app (e.g. British Airways) always informs Facebook, Google Analytics, tens of other trackers, that I am using the app, and I am left in the no-mercy of those folks, and Apple is not helping me to protect my privacy.
This is why an iPhone is only good when it's jailbroken (replace hosts file, install ProtectMyPrivacy, install Firewall IP -yes it works on 10.2-)
