Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off.

There are 2 reasons a big corporation will ever do anything:

Make number go up
Avoid number going down due to bad PR, government fines, etc.

This probably falls under #2.

Apple does sell privacy in ads.

And their hardware sales margins are hilarious.

So in this case they do have some incentive for privacy/security.

  They do even better - they sell the idea of privacy. Then they’re free to double dip.
  
  Or triple dip if selling in a place like China.
