Samsung provide "Smart Switch" in order to sync your iCloud data, Apple have a migration tool. Other manufactures might have something similar - thats on them.

How does adverting affect you? None of this makes it go away. At worst, it makes it more relevant. Oh the horror.
Smartphones didn’t ‘kill off’ feature phones. They’re just a progression from the original cell phone. There will be more progressions in this field, but it doesn’t make them inherently different, as a horse is to a car, and the life changing things that did to the world.
Actually it is a valid claim and yes someone could. Last I checked Blackberry was around 15 + years and no one thought they could be undone... and yet Apple came along and then Google. Also, how long were the other phone manufactures around that dominated the mobile market? So yes, 15 years does actually make your point more so there seems to be a president for another company to come along and dethrone someone. I guess no one should try then huh. I mean computers, cars, heck you name it... I mean Tesla has disrupted the entire vehicle and vehicle purchasing industry in just under a few years.
Technically yes.
About as much as the car is the progression from horses.
They have no choice other than move from the market. But that’s not a viable option for a company trying to make money. And besides, do they just move out of every market that regulates them? The U.K.? The whole eu? The us? No of course not. They’re trying to make a reasonable stand against privacy, and they have largely succeeded- but if that’s regulated out of existence it’s hardly their fault or something they can do much about. They’re certainly not going to hang themselves. Perhaps they should, but it’s obvious they wouldn’t. Rarely would a company do such a thing.
Not sacrificing anything. Or put it another way, we disagree. Why would Siri make a difference, please explain and be precise.
Again. A horse is an animal we trained to carry us places. A car is an invention to completely replace the horse and revolutionise the entire world.
Correct, I take them at their face value. But taken another way, nobody, anywhere can be trusted. Correct? With apple I think it will be be one black eye if they are lying.
Do folks generally carry both a feature phone and a smartphone? No? Then smartphones killed off feature phones, as well as other products like standalone GPSs because the pocket computers that smartphones are, implemented those functions.
Oh, so to get around the fact that Apple isn't concerned about your privacy here, you implemented a custom solution that 99.99% of the population will not do. Certainly you realize this is a terrible way to argue Apple puts customer privacy over $$$?
Moving the goal posts would necessitate me changing the condition which would render Apple hypocrites. That's not the case. I still maintain Apple is hypocritical for using Google as the search engine default. My position has not changed here. I simply point to Siri as yet another even more egregious way in which Apple is being hypocritical on this subject. The fact that you can't change the default for Siri from Goggle is even further at odds with Apple's claims of care and concern over user privacy.
I said DuckDuckGo simply because it's one of the current options that's focused on privacy. You're correct, it doesn't have to be DuckDuckGo. Apple could even put their money where their mouth is and create their own privacy-focused search engine.
Using Google doesn't sacrifice any privacy versus other options like DuckDuckGo? You sure about that?
You’re right, but so is the op. Apple are basing a rep on this. It’s something else if they’re bare faced lying, they clearly are not.
No way? How about NOT buying their products! That's the best way to hold them accountable.
While Tesla does Seem to bring much disruption to the general auto industry, that’s largely because of the EV concept and the whole “greener planet” ordeal. Despite that, Tesla doesn't magically take away over 80% of auto marketshare just because of a couple of EV, highlighting how difficult it is to dominate a market nowadays. Besides, other traditional manufactures also follow the trend and build their own EV, meaning the “advantage” Tesla could bring on the table isn’t as big as it would perceive.
Siri strips away metadata, private relay (if you sub for it) completely anonymises it.
Ironically apple was laughed out of the room for even making a phone. Computers are another place they were doomed, did I mention tablets? Just as Apple succeeded others can if they would focus on designing products for the customers instead of copying who ever they think will succeed and trying to beat them at what they are already doing.
Cookie control is annoying. But without it, there is no control. So it’s become a little less convenient, but a lot more transparent. Now you can choose to not accept what you don’t want to accept, or avoid a site that won’t let you choose.
Guess you missed the key part about limited government (not no government). And it was working just fine for the US as a constitutionally limited republic.
Yes, this is exactly what I'm saying. While you can specifically ask Siri each and every time to search DuckDuckGo or some other search engine, if you use a generic phrase like "look up..." or "search the internet for..." or "search the web for..." or you ask her for something and she responds with the dreaded yet predictable, "I found this on the web for...", she will use Google as the search engine.
This is a great way to put it even though I do not agree that regulators should meddle here.
