The risk is too high for them to fuck up, IMHO.
If someone found nefarious stuff after throughly logging and monitoring these devices, and their findings were made public, I think this would be too huge for a company which differentiates itself via their privacy stance
- ctchocula 7y agoI would contend that only a small subset of Apple's customers care about privacy, who are usually those working in tech. For most Apple fanboys, I'd say it's the aesthetic appeal, "cool" factor and conspicuous consumption that drives them to buy Apple. Even if someone found nefarious stuff, it would be in the media for one week and hardly anyone would notice.

- Razengan 7y agoIf you have been following tech news in the last 20 years, you'll know that ANY time Apple slips up in ANY way the world never seems to forgets it. Samsung, for example, could literally nuke a small country into oblivion and it would be forgotten within a month, whereas even post-apocalypse humans will begrudge Apple's removal of the headphone jack.
