Apple has always taken "privacy protection" as its own face, in order to form a dimensionality reduction blow to Android mobile phones. At the same time, many fruit fans also believe that Apple mobile phones are really protecting the privacy of users, based on this, many of them criticize Android mobile phones, in order to show Apple's "superiority". But is that really the case? The truth may disappoint the fruit fans.
Where is Apple security
I have to admit that Apple does have a unique perspective on data protection. Commonly, it protects the security of user privacy by restricting third parties. When Apple users log in to the APP account through "Apple", apple mobile phones will restrict the user's information from being shared on the network, and it also needs to pass two-factor password authentication to fully protect the user's privacy and security. Also, Apple's own Safari browser also organizes tracking from web pages. In addition, users themselves can also protect their privacy by turning on "Limit Tracking" and turning off various functions such as "AutoFill".
Dissatisfied with the rules of the privacy organization, Apple opted out
SPSC is a privacy trade organization made up of companies like AT&T, Google, Meta, and Apple. In SPSC's own words, it is committed to protecting privacy and protecting the rights and interests of payers. Of course, to implement this plan, it is necessary to formulate a unified set of standards and regulations. But what? Apple, as one of them, felt that what SPSC said was not enough to protect privacy, and recently decided to quit. This has made many consumers applaud, Apple is worthy of the responsibility of privacy protection, and the requirements for themselves are not generally high.
For the safety of making money
It seems that Apple users do have proud capital. At least when it is on the Internet, it can effectively avoid being invaded by various advertisements, and it rarely happens that "words are spoken during the day, appear on the page at night, shopping and sales", which is extremely frightening. However, it is easy for everyone to overlook an important point, Apple rarely limits its own snooping to users. Remember Apple's "APP Privacy Report" feature? Users can clearly see the privacy access of the mobile APP on the report.
Since even the "report list" can be made, the private data that Apple can see is likely to exceed everyone's imagination. Don't forget that apple, as a mobile phone manufacturer, lists privacy as the most important part of its "closed-loop system" because the most fundamental purpose is to make money, not "respect". Apple has never had the need to limit itself, and it is difficult for consumers to consider restricting the snooping of mobile phone manufacturers themselves. And in such a "relaxed environment", how self-discipline can Apple have? Therefore, many people joke that fruit fans enjoy privacy and security under apple "adultery".
Relax privacy protections for the sake of profit
Some people may not believe it, maybe Apple is really thinking about users? But facts have long proved that in the face of interests and user privacy, Apple has long chosen the former. In April 2021, Apple again tightened restrictions on third-party permissions – prohibiting access to data without user consent. Isn't that great? But in just 7 months, Apple relaxed privacy protections, allowing third parties to collect data "conditionally." Why?
Because Apple's approach has aroused the anger of e-commerce, advertising companies and other companies. If Apple has to insist, it will eventually be "group attacked" and its interests will be damaged. Apple felt that the gain was not worth the loss, so it relaxed its privacy protection. Interestingly, compared with the hype to promote "protection", Apple is silent when it relaxes protection. In the end, it was the exposure of the media that everyone discovered this change. So, don't be too superstitious about apples' "rhetoric", in the eyes of apples, you can make money from fruit powder, but fruit powder is really "worthless".
Follow the official arrangements to monitor ordinary people
Many people will have questions, although Apple itself can spy on the user's "privacy", but Apple is only a mobile phone manufacturer after all, what threat will it pose? If there is no threat, then he will see it. In this regard, the author can only say that Apple will either not come or will come to wave. In 2013, the British media exposed the famous "Prism Gate" incident, and the US-related organizations have carried out a huge surveillance program since 2007. Because of this long-term event that lasted for six or seven years, the personal privacy of countless people was leaked.
Among the nine accomplices of media leaks, Apple is impressive. Since then, the unknown side of Apple has been exposed under the sun. Ironically, after helping organizations monitor the world, Apple is now known for its "privacy protection." It can only be said that in the business field, Apple is indeed helping users' privacy not to be leaked, but this is limited to the scope of interests. As for the so-called security, not only is there none, but sometimes Apple is the biggest threat.
In the fourth quarter of 2021, the iPhone's domestic market share reached its highest peak since 2015, approaching about 23%. That is to say, one out of every four mobile phones in China is Apple's. These phones are basically connected to the Internet, and Apple can access data anytime, anywhere. Imagine if someone in the White House were to ask Apple to hand over our data, and guess what Apple would do? (Bluegrass)
