Sounds like you know a bunch of rich kids with iPhones. Recall is a Windows feature. I assume OP was asking about Mac users. The majority of Mac users are creators, who care very much about the privacy of their work.

You clearly don’t know many Apple users.

Yes. Their privacy policy is very clear. They’ve put so much effort into providing privacy features, well before every other developer in the industry, that they’ve built their customer base on it. The class action suit that they would face for compromising that policy would be massive, and they would hemorrhage customers. They have strong financial reason to maintain their word. If you ask for your GDPR compliant abstract from Apple, it’ll only include your name, phone number, and billing address.

From a security standpoint, the privacy features are top notch. They use 256-bit AES encryption for iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Apple Wallet, Find My iPhone, HomeKit, FileVault, Secure Enclave, and now Apple Intelligence. Apple operating systems use a UNIX kernel design, keeping the application layer independent of the operating system layer, allowing full sandbox control and requiring user authorization for any API access.

Plus, nerds love to try and find chinks in the armor. In the event of the inevitable vulnerability, Apple is always quick to release a patch.

Edit: You asked a question about Apple products outside of an Apple instance. Look for the ones with all the downvotes to get a real answer from Apple customers. PC/Android users love to condescendingly reply to and downvote Apple supporting comments. I think it makes them feel superior. Lol

The police continue to be allowed to use our tax dollars to buy our data as evidence in order to avoid the hassle of getting a warrant. Cool.

There’s a great website that converts the legalese of TOS into english, made by lawyers working pro-bono. I highly recommend it.

The urgency of someone in need of medical assistance would make them highly likely to accept terms without reading them. It’s predatory in my opinion.

That’s not entirely true. HIPAA prevents providers from sharing your personal data, but it doesn’t prevent you from sharing it. If the office uses a portal site with an EULA that discloses third-party data sharing, and you accept, it’s disgustingly legal.

As for personal data, we absolutely need the GDPR or equivalent in the US. Unfortunately, the personal data trade is a $300B/yr industry in the US, so they have plenty of cash for lobbying.

Don’t update it and wait for the community to crack it. The newest firmware almost always has vulnerabilities patched from the previous firmware.
