    Do people actually believe Apple’s hogwash about privacy?

      I don’t assume they are perfect. But I do absolutely believe they are significantly better on privacy than any other major player in the smartphone space.

      Even if you don’t pay any attention to their policies and programs, the mere fact that iPhones aren’t running an OS owned by an advertising company should be enough to demonstrate this.

      After reading the article, it doesn’t look like any of this contradicts what they’re been selling. Encrypted data is still locked down. IMHO, this title is fairly clickbaity.

      A lot of this looks like iOS / CarPlay versions of policing / public records database software that was previously on platforms like Windows.

      They have a pretty good track record. They are no advertising company and make their money elsewhere.
