This is true, but Apple touts how much better they are about Privacy, and charges a premium for it. Google is more up front that they make little money on the initial sale, and are dependent on advertising to make money.

Apple sells privacy, brags about privacy - yet Privacy is abused in from the beginning in the store apps.

And the lesson is - you can't buy privacy but you can sell it.

No. Apple charged a premium well before they started talking about privacy.
