    Yes because they’re sooooo transparent about how they handle you data. And they’ve NEVER lied before riiiiight?

    It’s not that they’re fake for not being private enough, they’re fake because of their long history of dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Or would you like to ask them what “current competing hardware” means on their next press release chart?

    Apple was a cult of personality run by a snake oil salesman until jobs died. Now it’s a shell of that, run by a board of investors. Why do people on communities like this, an ostensibly ant-capitalist community, still feel the need to defend them? It’s always so weird to me.

      Again, just because you have some issues does not mean they are not more privacy focused than companies like Google. Last I checked, Google reads your emails to use in ads which they also sell. Apple does neither. I’m not going to go down the list tit for tat, it’s well established.

      Also, privacy and capitalism are not mutually exclusive…? You can get support for privacy across many different backgrounds.
