Apple is not protecting anyone's data - they are using data for themselves. They are exempted from their own terms and they are expanding selling ads. U r just changing the different overlords. I wish more people could understand this and I would rather choose Google in this regard
Apple is a 'use all of our products, or else we will make life inconvenient for you' company. The fact that this happens to offer some privacy benefits is just a strategy credit[1][1] https://stratechery.com/2013/strategy-credit/
see post above yours. Apple is not protecting your privacy. in fact they are explicitly disallowing your privacy to be protected.
there's that privacy thing that Apple's kinda known for?
You mean apple isn't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts and belief in privacy. Wow!
Privacy standpoint is the Apple standpoint.
Privacy is the new obscenity. What does privacy even mean to you concretely? Answer the question with no additional drama, and I guarantee you either Apple doesn’t deliver what you are asking for, or you are using services from another company, like Google, in a way that the actions speak that you don’t really care about what you are asking for.
because Apple privacy is just marketing, they just want you to pay for it, they don't really care if it's possible to do better for free / by others
Apple are harvesting just as much data, they're just being less evil with it... For now.
May be Apple care about privacy?
