    Just goes to show that for all of Apple’s bullshit marketing, they care more about money than anyone’s privacy. I’m tired of people characterizing Apple like they’re a privacy company.

      The amount of shits given about privacy is directly linked to the amount of money made from doing so.

      I think Apple still cares more for user privacy than just about any other consumer electronic company out there today. Google’s Play Services mines way more user data than iOS does. However, Apple’s foray into Services will no doubt start them well down the slippery slope of monitoring and monetization, so I think erosion is inevitable to fuel Services revenue.
