    Only Apple users think Apple isn’t spying on them.

    And Apple users are about to realize with the new Apple AI aka Google Gemini that they ARE spying on them.

      Everyone who believes their big tech software doesnt spy as much as possible are naive fools

      But its almost impossible to avoid anyway

      So i can understand that a lot of people just dont care

      Myself included, though i do use linux, its not for privacy reasons. I just like linux better thqn windows.

      Work requires a mac, and github by microsoft. What you want me to do?

      No they won’t. Apple users are either tech illiterate or sycophantic. They won’t realize that the “year in review” is actually just a showcase of how much info they have on you.

        Used to know an apple fan in college, he almost screamed at me for buying a wired mouse with a good sensor rather than a wireless one with a bad one, because according to Apple, I would benefit more from the latter, and otherwise I’m setting back “wireless mains power tech”, which I showed a disinterest in by buying the wired mouse. He also called me a child when I bought a graphics card.

        TIL that as a software engineer I must be tech illiterate as I’m no sycophant. How shocking that I use an Apple phone as it just works for what I want. I’d be in the same boat if I used Android and I choose convenience when choosing a phone, gone are my days of geeking out for a month trying to get my banking app to work.

        One might argue you’re a little dense if you think the world is this black and white.

          You’re the exception among Apple users.

          I say this with nearly 4 decades in IT. Most Apple users are even more clueless than a typical Windows users, which is saying something.

            I work in an office with 5 other software engineers all of them smarter than me. Out of those 5 4 have iPhone and the 1 has some cheap android.

            Sometimes people just want to choose a phone and nothing more. It’s not that deep bro and it’s stupid to label all x is y.

            Oh is Apple finally releasing different colors again? :p
