    i gotta give apple credit. their software may be closed source but their privacy policy seems to be decent and is exposing all these data mining companies.

      It’s an artifact of them retaining a traditional business model where they sell you a product and you pay them money for it. Since they’re selling you a product they want you to have confidence that the product works in your interest. On the other hand, companies like Google is that they give stuff like Chrome to you for free and then make money mining your usage data. So the actual product ends up being your data and Chrome is just a tool for getting it out of you.

      though would it still be some nefarious marketing stunt? or is it just the same old apple that comes out with fake innovation for just the sake of gaining more hype? let’s see what comes up next from apple, who has their OSes track literally everything.

      personally, I think that they’re just trying to ditch their competitions so people would get more tied to the apple ecosystem. their privacy policy means nothing as you’ll realize the only purpose from the first thing you’re told to do when you use an iphone is to track you around, the perfect monster of privacy. closed source, centralized, and many apps preinstalled belonging to them. by piecing it together you’ll find that they could just print out your whole life in detail for you to read, and for anyone else too!
