Ooooh ok. While at it, don't forget to reset your Adversing ID, Apple's privacy focused attempts haven't found a way to remove it altogether.

Maybe those people could decide themselves if they want to maintain their privacy by requiring devs to disclose
don't say that, that goes against the agenda most users here support.
remember:
apple = good
facebook/google etc. = literally hitler
Y, I was disappointed when I read this. iCloud backups are the weak link.Now they just need end to end encryption for everything- backups etc.
“Apple reportedly abandoned plans to let customers fully encrypt back-ups of their iPhones on the company's iCloud following pressure from the FBI.”
FBI 'persuaded Apple to halt iCloud encryption' - BBC News
Apple was reportedly working on the encryption feature two years ago but the FBI objected.www.google.com
That is a very nice ad to visualise the problem to people who use the arguement "I have nothing to hide". Apple is hitting Google where it hurts since Google's main business model is to actually collect that information. No collection no Google.
Although as with every closed source software, you can never be too sure what is going behind the scene. There is also the false image that people will think if they use Google/FB products on iPhone they are safe from privacy abuse. One thing I didn't like about the ad is that it does not look an Apple ad by looking at it, it does carry the image of Apple, its dark and gloomy looking. I guess Apple became IBM.
I am not sure why is Apple advertising, their stock is shooting through the roof and their market share is huge and they are only 1 of 2 alternatives. Also, why is T-Mobile in there?

I don’t work in ad tracking. I also didn’t say “data isn’t tracked”, quite the opposite. I just don’t believe it’s as nefarious as people like to portray it.
When you advertise something about yourself it should be available everywhere. You can not say Tesla is an electric engine car, and they sell Diesel ones in Brazil. They should add like a fine print or something that this privacy is covered only in Europe, or it does not cover China.
When companies log where you moved your mouse pointer, which links you clicked at what time and day, and your keystrokes...yes, yes it is nefarious.
I’m not sure what type of tracking you’re referring to, can you give me some insight? It sounds like keyloggers which are used by hackers looking to gain your personal details in order to steal from you. Which is of course illegal.
And a few hours later they delay the anti-tracking features on iOS 14. Doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
Why do they even have to say such a thing if they say all local laws are followed? This way it makes apple look like a law abiding company , which it is. /s
You should stop using Facebook if you care about privacy and a company following the law and its own app rules.
The ad was very good. A clever way at getting a salient truth across.
You never know what these "cloud" services and software vendors have inside their closed source software. Once someone catches them they will give out the usually "Oops...its a bug". I used to trust companies but seems like there are no ethics here and no law enforcement. I won't be the lab rat, better safe than sorry.
humorous ad and scary that its true too..
Give people encryption and a VPN, and trust is not even on the table to consider.. Of course we'll do whatever you tell us sir.
Jump in trust, risen year over year thanks to encryption..
Open source doesn't make me feel any safer, but will relax a bit. knowing code can be looked at by many and fixed.. "potentially"
No defenses down here

How about turning off tracking by default?
