Why Apple Takes Privacy Seriously

Apple has been talking about privacy a lot lately. Releasing a YouTube video on the topic, using it as a selling point in the most recent Apple Event, and even putting up billboards about privacy on iPhone. This is in contrast to companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon, who rarely bring attention to their privacy policies. The basis of Apple’s position on privacy, is that they’re trying to do right by their customers. Not necessarily out of the good of their own hearts, but because that’s how they increase the lifetime value of every user and make as much revenue as possible, which comes from hardware sales. And one of Apple’s strongest selling points is privacy. So they talk about it a lot in order to distinguish themselves from the competition like Google, who is known for collecting and selling as much of their user’s data as possible.

Facebook is the exact opposite of Privacy.

10 years ago but feels relevant as if it was today. Rest in Peace Steve

Sure privacy is cool and all. But aslong as it messes with Facebook and it makes it angry I am fine with it.

[Fred_Raimer]

Seeing Jobs and his passion makes me really miss him.

Love the way they just gloss over "... Apple didn't want to poke the bear anymore"

Just so that everyone is clear ... the bear in this case is your Federal government not wanting you to have privacy.

“Big companies are upset. That’s how good it is.” - Rene Ritchie on iOS 14’s privacy measures

I think it was Rene Ritchie.

I was truly convinced about Apples privacy commitment the day they turned down the FBI requests 👌😏

Privacy is very important. Thumbs up for Apple

Edit: didn’t think that this would become a full blown war about privacy in the reply section.

Edit 2: Why are you guys still fighting?

[shaaziyanaaz]

For me, privacy is the most important and thats why I prefer Apple products over others ✌️

When I had a pixel 3a it asked me to leave review sfor restaurants anytime I left one… so glad to have an iPhone again

[venjiunchee]

This is the part where I appreciate Apple's effort the most.

Recently found this channel, and I love that he gives clear, concise information with no filler. Right up to the very end of the video, and then even frequently thanks the viewer for sticking around until the end. Please never change.

The only thing about Apple's respect for privacy is that they don't let others use their users' data. They need it for themselves(including their contractors and their partners). It doesn't mean that your data isnt collected. Your data is being collected and used by Apple. They say that themselves in their privacy policies. Their privacy policy is so cunningly crafted that you won't realise the ambiguity in one reading. But read it again, you'll see a lot of careful wordings that provide a lot of loopholes they can exploit. And they do too.
I'm not an anti apple or pro android guy or something, just pointing out the fact.

Now I know why Apple spent many millions on their privacy advertising campaign blitz not so long ago - to reinforce privacy for their users prior to implementing the latest big change.

Jobs lived in the future even above design and hardware. He really understood what humans need; what an individual needs.
I just wished he made a calculator for iPad when he had a chance 🥺

[kaustavbhattacharjee]

Hey @Greg, just a correction: Google is not the “creator” of Android, as mentioned in this video. It was created by Andy Rubin, which was later bought by Google and further developed by them.

5:12 I like how Facebook is highest number lmao

[groszak]

This privacy thing is actually unsettling. It's like every iPhone is exactly the same, yet at the same time completely different.

[zbrfox]

meanwhile theres xiaomi:
"want the calculator to know exactly where you live, your photos and stuff? oh wait this is not a question"

and i use a xiaomi phone, it is like this...

2:36 just noticed that the PNC and Mail app aren’t aligned lol
