They're the literal flipside of Microsoft and Google. One shouldn't be asking "what have they done" and more "what are they planning to do". Doesn't matter who the corporation is; you shouldn't trust that anybody with a profit motive has your privacy in mind
Apple's the snake in the grass that gets no scrutiny while Microsoft and Google are constantly in the news, why do you think that is? Is it at all possible those stupid markups for little more than a logo are going to lobbyists to get fed into politician pockets to keep our geriatric oligarchs from looking Apple's way? Again: You shouldn't trust anybody with a profit motive, ESPECIALLY not when serving you gets in the way of said profit motive
They will sell everything they have on you the minute it becomes profitable-- assuming they haven't already
I imagine it’s probably because they don’t create anti-user, privacy violating products like Recall or Gmail. You say it’s a big conspiracy but offer no proof.
And that iCloud shit, all those photo and document and everything else you put on an iProduct to get uploaded to online storage that keeps getting pried open and leaked like Apple's name is Sony aren't privacy violating? Fanboy.
A capitalist corporation is a capitalist corporation, they're no different from the others-- just quieter but
I'll come back around the next time there's a Fappening-tier gigaleak happening to iCloud just to laugh at your ass
You can call me names or whatever but you still offer no proof.
Nah nvm I got the time for your consoomer ass after all. Manifold privacy gaps where it benefits them, illicit data harvesting, privacy researcher concerns, but there's no proof, right? You don't have Google?
You one of them Apple fanboys from r/privacy ain'tcha. Or maybe you work for them or some shit. Iunno I don't have a reason to take you in good faith making me go do your research for you. Don't bother responding, neither; 'cause I can already anticipate the fanboy bullshit finna leave your fingers to keep running defense and I'm genuinely disinterested. You won't say shit that I haven't heard from a thousand others of your kind a thousand different ways. Have fun getting fleeced for a logo and misplaced faith.
