Yes, but it *can* be said that they don't make their money *protecting* your privacy. Which is an attribute I give Apple credit for, and I hope many more companies will join them.
Got a tip for us?

That’s why I love my iPhone. It saves me the time of inviting the strangers and just lets them listen to my real world conversations at their leisure.
Note: I’m just being snarky cause the timing of this comment was funny to me. I don’t think any tech company is innocent and I don’t think any are malicious enough to tank their stock either. The real issue with these companies having data is hacks and bugs and Apple has proven to be immune to neither.
They kind of do make money protecting your privacy by not sharing or selling identifiable data. Many companies will actually sell your data, like cell phone companies directly selling your location. That's not Google, they only indirectly sell your data by providing targeted advertising. One reason why many people use Google is because they trust Google to protect their data.
Plus, they give you the tools to remove your data that they have collected, should you want it.
This is one of the worst ever apps for email I’ve used
If you have a conversation email, it’s sometimea so hard to find a random email from withbthe conversation
Added to that the scrolling right to the bottom for an attachment. But I am glad they’re changing that.

This is BS imo. Every thread Google related has someone posting about google and privacy and they would never use their services blah blah blah. Then that comment leads to an argument of what Google does and doesn't do then how much better Apple is with privacy.
Sure, if you like reading the same arguments in every Google thread then I agree with your statement. But then the actual thread topic never really gets discussed after the first 2 pages.
If the thread topic was "Google finds the cure for all types of cancer" you can bet it's going to turn into a Google and privacy thread and if they had cancer they wouldn't want the cure because privacy.
I'm helping to derail the thread as well
.It gets old.
My data is more secure with Google than it is with Apple. As we've seen time after time.

Sure. First Google doesn't collect your data to sell it to another company. It collects your data to show you relevant ads.
You see, a company PAYS GOOGLE to get their products in front of people. How does Google know which users will like that PAYING COMPANY's products? By collecting your data.
People here seem to think Google takes your data and says "Ok corporations, here's this guys info. How much do you want for it?".
Again, this is not how Google works.
You gotta give it to Apple for trying though, I mean they even erased Hard Drive during Mac OS X Update and removed photos, if you do not call that a privacy driven update, I don't know what it is!
I mean neither you can access your data, how can you be more safe than that?
Apple:
We're all about your privacy. What happens on your phone stays on your phone!

The new Google Site is a joke, Can't even use the search functionality to search through sub-sites that are created.
One of my friends has it on his iPhone XS Max and didn’t even know what it was... and here I am still waiting.
It is rolling out to everyone on iOS by the end of this week.
