The ad says "Privacy. That's iPhone".

yeeaaahhh totally

To be fair (and let's be clear, I hate Apple), they have a pretty good reputation for privacy pro-consumer. I'm sure that's a business decision, but still.

reputation =! reality

Apple > google

When it comes to privacy. Though apples foray into ads are a worrying sign.

Apple being better than Google is a low low low bar to clear.

Not that I think Apple is much better OOTB. At the very least Android can be modded to be much better.

Didn't that start as an attempt at damage control because they forked over user data, just like Google?

How come they need so many kanji to say this?

Because privacy isn't a thing in China. Hard to explain lol
