Why quiet downvotes? My links demonstrate that Apple is collecting a lot of data, not giving an easy choice for the opt-out and starting to use that for ads. Also the software is getting worse.
Heated topic. Don't let it get to you. People like having tribes.
(I'm definitely in a tribe too. But I hope my comments here, and elsewhere, show that I'm more than willing to criticize the tribes I affiliate with)
From what I see, Apple has launched private cloud compute with better privacy safeguards than any other big tech firm. In fact, their personal assistant is the worst one because it is so dumb.
They don’t seem to make money from your data because, as you say, they have already made huge margins on hardware and apps.
