I use Apple devices at the moment primarily due to privacy concerns, but I don't trust Apple in the long run as it would be foolish to do so. Apple is one of the world's biggest companies and they'll do whatever it takes for them to stay on top. This year they may be privacy friendly, but what about in 5 years from now? Google was not creepy when they started out and even now they are more trustworthy than many other companies. True privacy oriented solutions are open solutions, projects and databases that can be forked. And the forking aspect is essential, because these online services are locking people in. This is why OpenStreetMaps is so important, because it can be forked, whereas Apple Maps cannot be. DuckDuckGo can't be forked either AFAIK, which is also a problem. We need an open index of the web too.
