Every webapp with typeahead functionality does it. How is this any different?

  Apple is supposed to be good for privacy.

    Indeed. Asking the question not because i am defending apple, but just pointing out that this common practice. If you want typeahead there is no way around sending all keystrokes. Poor phrasing on my end.

      So then it seems like the clear difference there is whether the user is getting meaningfully useful functionality by having their information given to the vendor. Although I'm not particularly impressed with the privacy implications of type ahead, it is at least an obviously useful feature in exchange for the user's information. What do we think Apple is giving the user in exchange for this information?
