Because Apple isn’t an advertising company and doesn’t need to. They also at least come out and say they won’t share your data with 3rd parties, except as needed (this has caused some problems with Siri stuff in the past).
Google is an advertising company first. And advertisers will pay a lot more for that data.
- slenk 7y ago> Because Apple isn’t an advertising company and doesn’t need to While I agree, just because they don't need to doesn't mean they won't. Google didn't need to invent gmail and get everyone sucked in to a free product, and then start reading emails to advertise, but it did. I know it's not exactly apples-to-apples (no pun intended) but I wouldn't put all my faith in a company not doing something egregious for profit because they don't _need_ to
- hylaride 7y agoWith Apple I trust, but verify. Apple actually has in it's EULA terms that it won't share the data. I know they can easily change it, but that's a good sign. With Apple's icloud services, outside of a small free tier, you actually pay them money. With Google, the only real revenue they have is from ads.
