Apple being Apple again. Just why does anyone actually like that company?

What about privacy though? Google runs an ad network, so clearly they have financial incentive to spy hard.

    So does Apple, the difference being they grabbed it all to themselves. This is why they have "no tracking" options, to seal competition off while selling themselves as the privacy champions and also selling their in house ad solution. That and the fact that they worked with the government behind users back, and having a shoddy work to secure their OS.

    Apple is not any better than Meta, they just lie better.
