Perhaps, to Apple, it's really not your data. When you put data on an Apple device, they consider it to belong to Apple. So the appropriate permission was granted when they accepted Path into the App Store. Maybe this is the Apple way of thinking?

"When you put data on an Apple device, they consider it to belong to Apple."

What is the basis for that claim?

Inevitably, it ends up being the speaker's dislike of said brand.

Ah, Internet.

It's a supposition, sorry if thinking about the possibilities upset the fanboys out there.
