"Wants to". They are just testing the waters for a response.

I've been telling people for years that Apple is just better at marketing. They sell this image of better security and everything, but they are just big tech with a bigger smile and make up than the others.

You trust Apple? You fell for the lies.

    This just pushes me closer to Motorola and GrapheneOS when it launches in a year or so.

    Fuck Apple and seriously fuck Google.

    Simplest way to delete their userbase. They’re the last big Tech company that still has a semblance of respect for user privacy, if any.

    Semblance. Are you saying that there are literally no privacy features? Privacy is a sliding scale, don’t gatekeep some certain level of privacy as “legitimate” and call everything else below that line fake, that’s disingenuous.

    Compared to Google, Microsoft, etc, they are more respecting of privacy than other big tech companies.

    Yes because they're sooooo transparent about how they handle you data. And they've NEVER lied before riiiiight?

    It's not that they're fake for not being private enough, they're fake because of their long history of dishonesty and deceptive marketing. Or would you like to ask them what "current competing hardware" means on their next press release chart?

    Apple was a cult of personality run by a snake oil salesman until jobs died. Now it's a shell of that, run by a board of investors. Why do people on communities like this, an ostensibly ant-capitalist community, still feel the need to defend them? It's always so weird to me.
