    but at least Apple has a track record of respecting privacy.

    …to keep the same amount of data for themselve.

    Don’t kid yourself. Apple collects the same amount as everyone else does. And if either get hacked, it doesnt matter if they keep it or sell it.

      They say they don’t associate the data they collect with anyone. There’s no way to trace back to my device.

        That doesn’t work. Data can and has been deanonymized previously. It’s still very much unsafe if it falls in the wrong hands

        “Oh yeah we collect data. Anonymously.”

        That has literally the same energy as some other user pointed out here about Valve and Gaben with their brain implant.
        Gaben is the harbinger of light for many but us still a billionaire that got the money from somewhere. Thus is also evil. Just not as much as, for example, Bezos.
        Apple is evil. At least equal to Google in different aspects.

        Stop cheering for anti-consumer companies.
