> Apple devices might not be precisely the smartest purchase if the concept of your hardware is important to you.
Maybe a handful of HN users are aware of that, but the majority of users think that their property belongs to them.
It also goes against what Apple marketing says about privacy and your data. I wouldn't fault most consumers for not understanding that Apple's PR doesn't reflect reality.
Actually the fact that you don’t really own your Apple hardware is supportive for the Apple’s privacy arguments. Since it does not really matter in that case where those images are scanned, as long as the end result is the same.
Not owning anything == privacy now?
