This has been repeated elsewhere but Hacker News seems to miss the point: Apple protects you fairly well from privacy in terms of advertising and corporate targeting.
Apple cannot save you from a nation state actor. Arguably no company can.
- gigel82 5y agoI truly believe they're only doing that because they want to get into the ads business themselves, not out of the goodness of their hearts. It'll be at most 2-3 years before we get a big flashy announcement for "privacy respecting" ads from Apple. I'll eat my hat if that doesn't happen.
