They say they take privacy seriously, but are selling their user’s data to Google

Only idiots think Apple is privacy friendly lol.

I don't link to news sites, but if you look up Apple Let Contractors Listen To Private Voice Recordings you'll see that in 2019 they were sending voice clips to contractors.

Apple has everyone fooled. They act like they are so privacy focused because they do processing locally on your device instead of in the cloud, which means nothing. Google also has been moving a vast majority of things to local processing on their Pixel devices for years now. Is Google now privacy focused?

Apple are privacy-focused insofar as they will privately sell your data, sneakily.

They had a big billboard in LA that said "Apple knows privacy" or some shit.

I guarantee all of them ate that up without a second thought.

Aren't almost all (at least photo editing ones) new Pixel 8 & Pixel 8 Pro features in the cloud? What things do you mean when you say Google is moving to local processing?
