Exactly how I feel. I used to cautiously kinda trust Apple's so-called "commitment" to privacy, but this change just shows us that any such promises are purely theater.

Now that the damage is done, I doubt it can be undone, especially in my case. My opinion on Apple's credibility has crashed through the floor. In my opinion, they're now as untrustworthy as Google or Facebook.

For me it's a step further. I cannot trust any company for more than privacy theater. Apple was simply the last to fall.

I'm starting to look at companies to see if they meet these must-haves:

1. E2E encryption

2. Open source hardware and software

Everything else is "nice to have". The current options out there are missing a lot of "nice to haves", but they will get better. I'll be a vocal customer telling them what I want.
