I drunk the Kool-Aid many years ago but with a grain of salt.
They do collect data. They explain they have ways of completely randomizing it. I’m specifically thinking of Apple Maps data.
...
Times change. It’s a different market with different competition. They’ve adapted accordingly. Privacy is big talking point right now.It's really disappointing that this is what Apple has become. Gone are the funny and memorable ads. Gone are the products worth buying. Now we just have lousy ads pushing ludicrously overpriced products with minor improvements from prior generations.
At this point I'm thinking Apple is going to have to offer a folding 5G iPhone before I upgrade from my 6+.
Lol, just watched the ads. They’re clueless like most of the things they do imo.It's really disappointing that this is what Apple has become. Gone are the funny and memorable ads.

lmao all ads are self promotion - it's an ad.So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
Apple does have billboards. I've seen huge Apple posters in MRT stations in Singapore. I've also seen Apple billboards in highways during the shot on iPhone campaign.France, United Kingdom, and Germany. The same countries where Huawei is growing by double digits.
If Apple is serious about their campaign, they need massive billboards, not just a couple of videos.
So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
Actually, the pressure is on Samsung. Samsung is giving free TVs as gifts when you order the Galaxies in some markets. Samsung is so pressured that they are actually making competitive products, the Galaxy Mxx series, to compete with the Chinese.so Samsung S10 pressure is working![]()
Should their ads be dissing Samsung and showing their products???So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
High res cameras aren’t as good as smaller size sensors with larger pixels.Those are so f lame, I can't even. Look at how Huawei "the copy cat" is innovating. Where is Apple's high res cameras, foldable phones, anything. Just lame ads
Maybe they can also know your battery health and then you get al kinds of battery pack and battery replacement ads you did not ask for.
The thing is if I did not give my explicit permission to collect anything or “see” anything and it wasn’t clearly discussed in the privacy policy then don’t ****ing do it. End of story.
That is the nature of an ad; company or product specific promotion.So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
More like, lol, you think you know about marketing better than Apple, the most profitable company in the world.Lol, just watched the ads. They’re clueless like most of the things they do imo.
Who in the hell is interested in seeing a phone getting dismantled when you’re in the market for buying a new one.
You should at least expect it’s safe in handling your data. Nothing new to show to or compelling reasons to get it. Only irritating noises. Apple has become irritating noise.
Apple is not a nonprofit. They make ads because that drives revenue. Normal business practices.So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
So, just another ad of self-promotion then. Talk about pretentiousness.
so Samsung S10 pressure is working![]()
The more Apple keeps taunting the “we are private, we are secure unlike the competition”, the more it will hit them when they get their blow.
There is no way Apple is not capitalizing and callecting data from its massive user base.
Anonymity gives you a fair degree of privacy.That is called anonymity, not privacy.
Seems like people don't really care about privacy, they just care that google is making money and they don't like it.
That's what an ad is......... self-promotion............
The logic is a) that they should not have/collect my data and b) that the ad tries to imply that your data was safe.I don’t understand your logic. You don’t think it’s a differentiating feature that is good and should be promoted?
