This article: Apple’s OS relies on a lot of services to deliver its features!

That article: Microsoft reports every click you make

Is that the comparison you’re making?

No.

This article: My Mac contacted 63 different Apple owned domains in an hour, while not is use

> while not in use

That is not "Apple reports every click you make", _very_ different from Microsoft. These requests seem like they are all for background tasks to keep data up to date when the user goes to use it. Now can you see a difference between that and _reporting_ on what you are doing?

Where did you get this information? Is it just a guess based on what Apple declared about these domains?

In the article, there is no info about the content sent to these Apple owned domains. For all we know, MacOS could send detailed reports on the user's activity.

I mean it could be sending your actual thoughts based on undocumented long range EEGs.

But the burden of proof is on those who claim something works differently than documented.
