It sounds like you trust Apple. I don’t

From 2022: Apple sued for tracking users’ activity even when turned off in settings The iPhone maker knows a lot about what a user does on their phone.

App developers and security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakry from the software company Mysk recently found that iOS sends “every tap you make” to Apple from inside one of the company’s own apps. According to the developers, attempts to turn this data collection off, such as selecting the Settings option “disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether” did not affect the data from being sent.

From 2026: Apple plans to change its Hide My Email privacy feature that could make it less effective

Apple said in a note to developers on Monday that in the coming weeks the company will move its anonymously generated email addresses to @private.icloud.com, effectively making it easier for apps and websites to know that an email address is private and block users from signing up.

Existing addresses will continue to function and forward mail without interruption, Apple said in the note to developers. The company added that app and email providers would have to update their filtering to ensure that emails to customers who rely on the feature continue to go through.

Several Apple users on Reddit criticized the change to the email domain, saying it would make it more difficult to use the service.

From 2026: Siri AI may be privacy-first, but the new ‘personal-context understanding’ features really creep me out

Here’s the thing. it doesn’t actually matter how secure Apple makes its AI, I’m still not too keen on it being able to dive into the depths of my phone to score for data. It doesn’t matter if the goal of that is to hand over some random piece of potentially-helpful information when it thinks I might need it.

This Tim Cook?

Because as of now their main financial structure isnt based on selling personal information for ads.

Again, how do you know that? Cook gave a gold bar to trump, they’re not a good company.

They’re the only mainstream hardware company that takes user privacy seriously

Why do you think that? Is that what you’ve heard or do you know that?

Why tf does everyone trust apple for anything? They’re a pretty awful company.
