because Apple is going to use your data to a less nefarious end? I don't get it.
That’s my belief. They don’t derive revenue from their users data, they get it through hardware sales and service subscriptions. Google has proven that they will monetize their users data in not so pleasant ways. I like Google products a lot but don’t use them because of their business practices overall
Contrary to Apply making products harder to repair, efficiently locking in to their ecosystem with no way out? Apple ducks consumers every day. I doubt they'd gather all your data for the purpose of utilizing storage space.
I'd rather trust the devil I know than the devil that's better at hiding it's evil. Apple isn't some amazing perfect company that cares about you. Almost everything they do is anti-user, they just do it in a way that apple-only users think is a bonus because they've been forced into apple only products already. Not to mention their idiotic pricing.
If you think apple is somehow "trustworthy" or not just as "evil" as Google in any way you've let their marketing team fool you.
assuming this is true, for me it's not what they do with the data it's just them collecting and keeping data they don't need.
It’s been proven in court that Apple refuses to decrypt locked iPhones or messages
