Also my first response, 'is this just marketing?'.
'Buy apple products, we care about your data. We will help protect it. Encrypt it. Not share it. And block others form trying to get your data'
But are Apple as benevolent as they say? Do you trust such a gigantic corporation? Are they colluding with governments instead of just advertisers?

The question you have to ask yourself is whether you care about that. I can see a near future internal conflict / civil war happening in the US though, in which case having the government - potentially your adversary - know everything about you is a bad thing.
- CaptainZapp 8y agoLet's put it this way: Apples' core business is not to violate your privacy left and right, which probably gives them an edge about the likes of Facebook and Google (at least in my book) in this sphere.
