Apple being marketed as a privacy company makes me laugh... about once a month.

I mean they went up against the mainstream media and the FBI when they tried to demand the FBI demanded they make an insecure version of iOS for them, that would have enabled unlocking all iphones in existence.

The headlines said "apple is refusing to unlock a terrorist's iPhone, but if you did your homework, it was actually the aboe first sentence that was happening.

That's pretty pro privacy. I assume Google has already done this for them, perhaps without even being asked.

Google's and Apple's policies are basically the same when it comes to sharing data with the government... they both comply with secret laws (thanks Snowden).

I believe apple did the same thing decades ago with security ("windows is insecure, macos is secure", "we don't get viruses", etc) Over time they got better in this respect. Maybe they will offer real privacy someday. I would love a real firewall and little snitch on ios.
