First response: This sounds good, maybe I should consider Apple for my next device? Second response: Was undermining Google the reason he held the speech in the first place?
I was having lunch with several lawyers at my company a few weeks ago. One of them was talking strongly about quality devices and Apple’s strong privacy stance. He literally said that we as a society should be grateful for having Apple.

I hope Google will at least analyze the idea of privacy, analyze what data they collect and if all of it needs to be collected or kept, when someone suggests let's collect everything there(and in other companies) should be some debate there before is implemented.
It's sad how the introduction of a new class of devices "smartphones" brought along with it a surveillance software platform in the form of Android. Where it is clear that the only incentive for google to develop it is exfiltration of as much personal data as they can. In contrast in the case of Apple you have a customer relationship with the company that sold you the device and they have an incentive to keep you as…

Also my first response, 'is this just marketing?'. 'Buy apple products, we care about your data. We will help protect it. Encrypt it. Not share it. And block others form trying to get your data' But are Apple as benevolent as they say? Do you trust such a gigantic corporation? Are they colluding with governments instead of just advertisers?

Apple's stance has been completely consistent. They comply with the law while making their ethical beliefs and stance as a company clear where they disagree with it. What do you suggest Apple should do instead of comply with the law? Require it's employees to incriminate themselves?
Or not deal with countries that don't match their ethical beliefs. You know, actually taking a stand instead of empty words.
Well Apple can start by making Siri work locally/without internet and then I believe their stance.
If they could I believe they would. They rather not be reliant on whoever is providing their speak recognition.
• add VPN on/off to control center
• allow per-app VPN via Apple Configurator, without enterprise MDM
• once the above two are available, we can use Tor, IDS, DPI or pihole on a per-application basis, to reduce data harvesting
• bonus1: allow the open-source iOS MDM community OR the iOS Shortcuts community to make it easy for novice users to have one-click install of "privacy-plus configurations"
• bonus2: provide open-source code for on-device, silicon-enabled voice recognition using Neural Engine. In the meantime, allow anonymous (no iCloud login) use of Siri via Tor on a per-application basis
Until Apple growth streak breaks and they start to use data like everyone else and using data is a good thing.

True, so can I get paid when I sell my information?
You can get paid in the form of a free OS for your smartphone? Or free use of a video streaming platform?
I paid full price for my phone, there was no warning or contract for me selling my data. I also do not remember a clear EULA about me selling or paying with my data, usually this EULAs are emphasizing that data is collected to give us better services not that is sold/shared with third parties.
