  Apple and privacy can’t be in the same sentence. It does not make sense.

  This is just retaliation to the Huawei ban, and to America’s efforts to hurt China’s chip industry.

    While Apple may not be perfect when it comes to privacy, they are objectively better for privacy than just about every other manufacturer as it’s profitable to their business model

      Based on what? Apple sells a closed source device. Neither you nor me know how much data they retain or share with the government.

        I know what their privacy policy states and that they can’t (legally) lie in it (to my knowledge). I also know that they are not an advertising company primarily and that the competition is. That gives other companies far more reason to collect data. Apple on the other hand benefits from being more privacy focused as a selling point. Overall, Apple is far more trustworthy imo when it comes to privacy than others
