There is a part of me that is little sad Apple did not just wait to add this feature until iOS 14 released or one of the last GM's.
If only because it would be a huge wakeup call for users about what their apps are doing and possibly collecting, instead of it all being patched out now. Instead we are seeing basically no traction on this outside of tech circles.

Not being an Android user, one of the negatives that was often talked about (maybe no longer true?) is that a lot of phones could not upgrade to new versions of Android. Is that still a thing, or was that limited to the lower tier phones?
Security updates are pushed monthly though. And Samsung supports security updates for much longer period.

> People who value the curation of their photos will take the time to do it. Sounds like only something people who aren’t stressed from their underpaid jobs can do? Most people are kept busy and don’t have time to fit into this dark (corporate app) pattern.

Sometimes it's overly sensitive and bad things happen, but in general it's awesome that over time it becomes harder and harder to get away with apps blatantly spying on you.
I am certainly happy about the steady pro-privacy process. I personally consider Apple full of shit until two features are released: 1. Contact sharing needs a complete overhaul. Some apps need to have access to my contacts. I get this. But they only need the name and the phone number. They don’t need addresses, birthdays and additional notes I put in m contacts. Sure, I could have a separate contacts app with "meta…

From my perspective it seems like Apple keeps releasing new privacy features and Android keeps being forced to catch up. What are the major privacy enhancements that Google has put out first?
That's how Apple users feel in general.

wonder if Apple is playing 4D chess here though Why 4D? Isn't chess just a 2D game with wormholes?
Are you suggesting the movement of knights (and possibly kings and rooks) can be explained by wormholes?
