"vision" would be to do things for the customer
- actually allow privacy, even from apple itself. Like turn off telemetry, not just anonymize it. and opt-in, not opt-out.
- install apps without asking permission
- allow access to your data, for example to export your imessages
Just in general be respectful and polite
- jaredklewis 1y agoSure fine by me, but the comment I am responding to seems to be longing for a new Jobs like figure that will prioritize “innovation” to take over. I don’t think the GP is talking about an iMessage export feature. We have no reason to believe Jobs himself would care about any of the points you have listed (all of which seem great to me). For me, I’ve been fine with bean-counter Cook. MacBooks and iPhones are not perfect, but I strongly prefer them to the competition.
- astrange 1y agoTelemetry is opt-in. It asks you during setup.
- walthamstow 1y agoIsn't the checkbox already ticked though? I'd say that's opt-out. The user must take direct action to avoid telemetry.
- resonanttoe 1y agoIt's not a check box, its a button choice ("Share diagnostics" "Don't Share") It's pretty explicit in intent.
- s1mplicissimus 1y agoUsually, there's a default blue bordered button and a non-highlighted grey one. Any chance the default blue button says "Share diagnostics"? Because that would still make it an opt-out
- smugtrain 1y agoTechnically yes, but most would consider an opt-out some tiny little nearly illegible that confuses the user into allowing it without deselecting. This is a clear choice given to the user. No gimmicky opt-outs.
- Shadowmist 1y agoWith Liquid glAss CarPlay on non touchscreen cars they changed the button colors so that gray is the selected item and blue/green are not selected. Also they changed the back on-screen button to be the default, or sometimes they select the item you want but then a second later change focus to the back button. When you first use CarPlay there are consent screens so there are definitely people out there who have picked the wrong one.
- walthamstow 1y agoMy mistake, I misremembered. s1mplicissimus makes a very good point. What I do remember is it's designed to capture telemetry opt-in of people who aren't savvy and just click next, next, next.
- m463 1y agonot all telemetry some cannot be disabled ("anonymized") some is still opt-out just off the top of my head on iphone: settings -> search -> help apple improve search
