I'm not implying that. If they did decide to that tomorrow (which would be an incredibly stupid business decision) they would have much less data on me to sell than Google does one of their users simply because they aren't collecting EVERYTHING, only what they need now.
- stanleydrew 11y agoI think you should take a step back and realize that you're not arguing anything from a position of actual evidence. This has boiled down to a "Google collects more data than Apple" argument, which quite frankly is simply unknowable and makes for boring reading. The fact is, both companies collect data, both companies sell ads, and nothing one CEO or the other says in a speech changes that.
- blinkingled 11y ago> they would have much less data on me to sell than Google does one of their users simply because they aren't collecting EVERYTHING, only what they need now. Bold claim without supporting facts. They know what you are searching for (yes, yes only to improve your experience, but still), they have your credit card, if you use Apple Pay they know what you are buying and where, they can totally read your iCloud email, photos etc, they can track you at their stores using the bluetooth beacons or whatever, they know what music you search for and buy etc. What does Google know about you that Apple cannot if you are a hard core Apple ecosystem user? What can you stop Google from knowing about you if you are a Google user? If you add up everything - it's all the same!
