I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

Yeah I find it hilarious that anyone thinks apple cares about privacy. They clearly have been cultivating that image but it rings pretty hollow to me. They just chose something that would be easy to say they care about that an ad company clearly also doesn't care about.

    They care about privacy as they consider themselves the owner of your data.

    Like all of this is untrue? You can have you iPhone or whatever at to encrypt shit locally and Apple has no ownership of the data? This obviously comes with tradeoffs, but people are so effing uninformed and apparently riding the dick of google as hard as they can.

    It's better than that. Encryption is always enabled for anything stored on icloud. Like you can't turn it off

    Yes, but normally Apple has keys to that, you can enable further encryption, so you own your own keys. This has some additional considerations, but if you want to make is very very hard for anyone to access your data, that’s what you do. Or I guess get an android and load in to google cliud, I’m sure that will be fine!

    I’m so so so so soooooooo over the what phone do you have debate, and now apparently we’ve entered a new one where people who seemingly don’t know anything are making trash memes. Joy.

    Meanwhile the rest of the world is a burning pile of shit. Congrats, ‘dumb’ phone people and whoever else thinks they are hot shit. You’re not, and this is all pointless.

    Apple has the keys though I less you use advanced data protection.

    They have the keys for your account, yes. The data is another story if you turn on Advanced Data Protection. In that case, they could access your account but the data would be useless.

    They do not have encryption keys or a backdoor (that we know of) for your physical device. So if you don’t use iCloud and adjust privacy settings you can stay reasonably private on an iPhone. At least more so than on Android.
