There is a privacy push in this release. Immediately after upgrade you will get a page letting you know that "Apple believes privacy is a fundamental human right…" and explaining steps they take to help with that, along with introducing a new icon which lets you know an Apple app is asking for personal information. That sounds like a way to train you to think about personal information differently, but I don't expect any users to read that screen or to know the icon. Darned users.

- purephase 9y agoIt the one reason I continue to use Apple products. They've definitely had their snafus when it comes to security implementation, but bugs are bugs. I don't doubt that at their core that they believe strongly in personal data privacy though. They've shown multiple examples, and this is just another step in the right direction. It makes sense as massive scale data collection is not their fundamental reason for existing (unlike Google and Facebook). Unfortunate that the idownloadblog link asks for permissions to turn on push notifications though.

What's perfect about this is that the competition can not claim the same (Google/Samsung/Android and to a degree FB). It's not like increasing RAM and the competition then easily follows. Props to Apple for realizing their strengths.
