iPhone = Privacy?
Apple seems to prioritize privacy more than the competition, while for Google collecting, and combing through to monetize, your personal data is a big part of their business model.<p>Much of this criticism seems misplaced or invalid. Apple tracks your IMEI? Well, sure, unless you choose otherwise, and they&#x27;ve given you a convenient place to turn off. Apple chipsets track your location down to the meter? Well, yes, that&#x27;s a feature most people enjoy - and they&#x27;ve given you a convenient place to turn off, if you don&#x27;t. Apple is using third party app Siri interactions to train Siri? How is this even a privacy issue...  has any real world privacy problem ever occurred because of this? If you don&#x27;t want Apple to hear your voice or process your Siri requests... don&#x27;t use Siri? They&#x27;ve given you a convenient place to turn it off.<p>The only one I agree on is the image scanning for CSAM. The idea of a device I own acting as a state informer using AI to detect what it thinks is a crime is not my idea of a step forward.
