This is a deep misunderstanding of Apple's business model. Apple doesn't 'want all your data' because that's not useful to their core business. They're selling you privacy as a secondary effect, but they are indeed selling you privacy.
Apple publishes explicit statements about their privacy standards. Believing that Apple "wants all your data" requires believing that many, many written documents they publish, many of which would be easily falsified if untrue, are bald-faced lies. It's simply not reality.
- jeffgreco 6y agoApple wants all your data to be stuck in their walled garden, but indeed not for the nefarious data mining/reselling practices of Facebook — more old fashioned lock-in reasons.
- Schiendelman 6y agoWe have seen repeatedly that Apple does not want your data at all. Maps, for instance, goes far out of their way to not know who you are.
