Quite disappointing... selling soul indeed

I'm rather surprised at the blatant data gathering.

Yet, somehow, I suppose I shouldn't be, considering who makes it, and how the revenue stream is structured, etc, etc.

As much as I like to berate Android, I grudgingly understand why people pick Android devices, be it customization, compatibility, cost, etc etc. (There are some features I would like to see in Apple from a UI perspective)

Yet when things like this - I do feel far more comfortable on the iOS platform.

Sure, Apple doesn't have all the answers, and is absolutely annoying sometimes, but I prefer their attitude towards privacy, compared to Google/Facebook/others...

Flame away, folks, if you must
