If your threat model includes state level actors, there is no commercially available solution that will make you 100% safe. This is about privacy from private corporations and making it more difficult and more costly for governments to get your data. But the latter is always possible when you use the web.

My personal threat model doesn't include state level actors, but if it did I would certainly differentiate between a solution that the NSA can break with some expense and one that my local police department can break with a warrant.
My actual threat model is advertisers, so I think the Apple solution is quite elegant and will serve me well. It shouldn't be conflated with TOR though.
