What would you have us all do? If you are so concerned about the
direction Apple is headed, the smart thing for you to do is to donate
all your Apple possesions to your favorite charity and move on.
You are out of line to come down on those of is who either do not
share your concerns or prefer to focus on other more productive tasks.
Lighten up.

Again, y’all didn’t even get the essence of the concern.
the concern is about apple adopting a technology or Artificial intelligence
technique that other tech companies are adopting which will surpass what any of
you can imagine. I can say this, being at the uni’s computer labs with other
peers working and studying on artificial intelligence. You only see the crap
google and facebook are trying to do to monetise their shit. The difference
here, the nuance you were basically not able to catch, is that Mister Timmy, on
the basis of privacy legalese, has not saught out to adopt deep learning, which
requires data collection. If he went “we’re making sure your data is safe, and
granularly reflect on which data should be anonimised but kept for the purpose
of making your experience richer” then I wouldn’t be concerned. I am because he
flatly went against any of these technologies. Hence the concern.
man, some y’all are purely and simply blinded by all the hardware you buy and
living only apple everyday of your lives.

will take the time to read terms of service and user agreements every time they
are updated, if in fact they read them at all.
I have no clue if Apple has me on the receiving end of anything but the
great produicts I own. I do not get gobs of spam that I need to opt out of like
one company whose cable services I no longer use but they cannot take no for an
answer, so now and them I must opt out yet again or continue to get bucket
loads of offers eqch month.
Now that Paypal has split off from eBay as of July 1st, what I saw of their
new terms could be of great concern.
In a nutshell, they state that if you do not agree to accept bucket loads of
spam via texts and robocalls, feel free to close your Paypal account.
The virtual universe we live in is a wide open environment. Danger lurks in
every nanobyte.
That said, of anyone is unhappy with Apple, or any other company, they have
a simple fix. Send everything to Davy Jone's Locker.

Hang on a minute. You’re concerned about Apple’s continued business viability
in spite of overwhelming evidence of their success, because unlike those guys
over at Facebook and Google, they don’t make gobs of money by harvesting user
data for free services, and your explaining your justifications by way of
sources quoted by Business Insider?
Just so there’s some sort of accessibility-related edge to this nonsense, I’d just like to say that I feel very fortunate indeed that the most accessible platform also respects my privacy the most of all the mainstream proprietary platforms. Sure, I think Timmy-boy is telling a little white one when he says they don’t collect user data—of course they do, and they would rather you used their iCloud and store services, and will if necessary take steps to accidentally rope you into the family. But honestly, I infinitely prefer the completely optional wallet rape you get from Apple to the completely involuntary data raping practices of FarceBook and the great chocolate factory in the sky. Those two companies make you the product in exchange for little tasty morsels of mediocrity, and have done more to harm personal privacy than any other organisation with the possible exception of the NSA and GCHQ. So if the suggestion here is that Apple should take my data in addition to their
ex
cessive margins, then the person suggesting it is all about the money, plain
and simple, and can sod right off.
