Real question. I would like to know what drives you to hate Apple? (In terms of privacy of course because in terms of price it’s another story).

    I’m not an Apple apologist, but I feel there are some things Apple does that are privacy focused.

    • The ability to E2EE encrypt iCloud is a very simple privacy feature that is accessible to the technical and non-technical alike.
    • Private relay provides a double VPN architecture that doesn’t cause constant captcha hell and again just works for non-technical people.
    • Hide my email, while not being perfect, is a pretty straightforward method to make throwaway email addresses.

    The things I hate about Apple are generally not privacy related.

    • They are a mega-corporation that stifles innovation
    • They don’t allow other browsers
    • They are puritanical about what is allowed in the App store
