      Fanboi: “Apple does everything Android does! They just lie about it!”

      Apple is no saint, but they have a different business model with different pressures. There’s little incentive for them to commit the same sins Android does.

        What do you think iCloud is for? Do you they are just be nice offering a cloud storage solution, or do you think maybe they get something out of it?

          iCloud is just a set of services Apple offers for their customers. Complete with vendor lock in. There’s no indication they are selling that data though if that’s what you are asking.

      Apple absolutely does spy on their customers. They’ve just taken this clever approach where they say they don’t, and for some bizarre reason everyone just accepts it.

      They probably don’t spy as much as Google does, but let’s face it they’re definitely collecting info.
