People who use and trust Apple, are idiots. They gasp in wonder when they receive such new advances like arranging icons on your screen. Did this with my Palm Pilot in the 90's and every phone, even Windows Mobile phones on 2002/2003. But now it's "NEW"!
Same thing with AI and Apple. Too stupid to actually know any better. But when Daddy Apple says you are going to use it, everyone fawns.
Sending your data, all of it, to a cloud is not privacy. I guarantee this is part of the content scanning and reporting requirements being seen across the globe. It's under the public relations marketing to prevent CSAM, human trafficking, drug crimes, etc. But anyone with a brain cell knows that's not the why. That's the way it can be sold to fear mongering groups.
I know some really smart people who fawn over apple. They get excited while talking about the new feature I have on my 2019 Samsung or my win10 desktop.
You ever notice that it kinda sounds a lot like your little nephew talking about dinosaurs?
Pretty sure I was able to rearrange icons on my IPod Touch 4 in 2010.
