I'd like to have something similar for actual physical mailing addresses, perhaps UPS or Fedex could offer this.
Maybe I'm cynical, but this looks more like a data hording scheme than a protect my privacy enhancement. If I use Google to sign in, Google and the app has that data and can monetize it. Now if I sign in using Apple, they are going to have the data to monetize. They may keep the app from getting my information, but that means that their data is better than someone else's data, so it is more valuable. Also, they are g…
Not saying Apple can't use your data, but as far as auth providers go, I'd rank Apple higher than all the other Big Tech Cos.

Unfortunately they’re not accepting new signups
Is there by chance a Firefox add-on on your product roadmap? This looks interesting

But will it be lower friction than login with Google or Facebook? It feels like it's more common for someone to have an account from one of those two than from Apple, and so "sign on with Apple" will never be able to be the only SSO option, while Google or Facebook could be. If the better (for the site) SSO options also have near-universal market penetration, what's the incentive to add Apple?
I would venture a guess that apple/icloud accounts are the highest % account type amongst iPhone holders. All sorts of people have reasons for not having gmail / facebook / etc., but apple account setup is pretty prominent in device setup.
So this is only for mac/iphone users? That's not a large enough segment to warrant adding a sign in option for most sites. Would be nice if Mozilla had done something similar with Persona.
Finally an excuse to delete my Facebook account completely. SSO was the only reason I was still using it. I do wonder how many sites will actually implement it.
