And here, ladies and gentlemen, we have a perfect example of the kind of person I was describing in my post above. Note the utter lack of nuance or reading comprehension.
To the point: No, you do not have to "pick one," for the reasons I just stated.
If you have any evidence that your data will not be kept private by an Apple Watch, then by all means, present some! It would certainly be a scandal for the company, given how hard they've been pushing the privacy angle!
If all you have is a) a general feeling that All Tech Companies Are The Same, or b) a seething hatred of Apple and all that they do, then kindly keep them to yourself, because they are emphatically unhelpful in this context.
- adolph 5y agoNo need to push together so much straw. I think the folks at Apple now are doing great things that push things like differential privacy and other techniques in a direction I agree with and I think is better than many other companies. I’ve personally sought out their products since running System 6.0.8 on a PB100’s persisting RAM disk.

- danaris 5y agoFor the Nth time, that was a *phishing attack*. Apple cannot be held responsible either for selling that data by design, nor for insufficient data security. Their systems were not compromised. I cannot believe that 7 years later people are still holding that up as an example of why Apple cannot be trusted.
- adolph 5y agoUser error is part of the total security profile of any system. It doesn’t have anything to do with Apple specifically, just an example of how the best intentions of a vendor are only part of the picture.
