I wonder if this sort of "encapsulation" you describe Apple did could have been one of the reasons why they succeeded in building an amazing product? It seems counter-intuitive at first, but isn't it a possibility that encap

The reason this is a "big deal" is because the finger print ID is one of the 3 (or so) main reasons anyone would/should upgrade to the new iPhone, and if one of the 3 reasons to upgrade isn't a reason anymore due to it&#

I agree. The general public does not know much as much as they should about this topic, and the tech scene needs to be saturated before the information can spill out vastly enough into the general public. And there is a fundamental issue

Take this with a grain of salt, but IMO the reason some people who try to learn programming end up with this type of mindset is because they have a wrong mindset to begin with: they believe learning to program should be relatively easy and

I believe they can only connect your searches if you are logged in while searching. Otherwise, of course they can collect data on anonymous searches but not ones that would be specific to you. I hope I'm wrong.
