I could hope for being able to trust that an intensely personal device such as a smartphone isn't something that I have to be constantly suspicious of.

Admittedly, that ship sailed a long time ago, but I could still hope.

That ship was never in port. Apple control the hardware and software and always have.

You being able to trust them is a personal choice. It seems people are happy to trust companies that don’t talk about what they do with their data rather than the ones that do. Which, while understandable seems counter intuitive.
