It’s not like Apple us building a database of apps you’ve launched linked to your address and social security number.

Linked to your identity if you have a credit card saved for say iTunes.

Any proof of that audacious claim?

  • In the modern age isn't the audacious claim that they're not?

    • No. Apple has a history of being extremely careful with personal data, and almost always goes out of its way to make sure it never even collects anything personalized. Of course, those could all be lies, I suppose.

      But not for Apple where advertising revenues a rounding error on a rounding error, and they’ve built their brand on their commitment to privacy.

    Proof that if you are signed into any of their cloud services they know who you are? Is this a serious question?
