Apple was part of the NSA PRISM program. Has that changed? I mean other than unverifiable marketing speak about valuing customer privacy? On one hand this could be a legitimate privacy feature or it could also be an elegant cover story for a covert channel to the PRISM inbox. Most of the non-tech people I speak with trust their phone manufacturer implicitly (even after PRISM).
We've come so far in our exchange of privacy for convenience, creating a surveillance nirvana... for those with access.
1) Fingerprint scanners
2) Facial scanners
3) Retina / iris scanners
4) Voice recordings, voice assistants.
5) GPS tracking (on IOS Google Maps defaults to knowing location even when the app is not in use).
It appears beautifully programmatic / orchestrated.
