You assume an awful lot for someone that has no executive insight into how Apple operates. How are you so sure?

That's not an assumption. It's easy enough to look at what Apple does.

I agree, which is why I'm shocked that anyone can act surprised: https://www.macrumors.com/2023/12/06/apple-governments-surve...

It's a company with shareholders. Also they don't even hide that they sell some information for ads targeting.

That's exactly what they don't do.

They absolutely give cookie data to Google for marketing their products, and they absolutely give targeting data to Apple News publishers. Funny how they don't let you uninstall or disable Apple News even on Mac, let alone iOS, which was already known to be locked down for Apple's profit.

False. They don't give anything to Google, and I just removed the News app from my phone just to prove it could be done.

iOS isn't locked down for "Apple's profit", it's locked down for the users' security. This isn't really controversial, only really hardcore Google shills who don't know anything about Apple would argue otherwise.
