And apparently it is so entrenched now that even the review sites/researchers/etc. don’t bother doing research into what data Apple harvests anymore. They just believe them implicitly. There are services on all their platforms like mediaanalysisd that scan files and categorize into categories like “human, pet, good photo, bad photo, drivers license, badge, social security number” and they even have the capability to analyze video and “auto-caption” the video, they claim it’s an accessibility feature. It is also a great metadata generation and harvesting tool for all media on the device, and trivial for the contents of that metadata to be spirited away to Apple or elsewhere.
Classification excerpt from that process in particular:
Do you use any Google products or products that were influenced in their production by Google, like android based systems including GrapheneOS, or any browser that uses blink/chromium like Brave?
the only google product i use is a pixel. and only because graphene. but as soon as it’s dead i’m switching to a linux-phone. And no chromium either. Why?
Because there are way more products that fuck privacy than google. So why did you specifically asked for those and a browser-base?
Not to say google doesn’t suck big sweaty monkey balls
Apple cares about your privacy though. Every fanboy simp always says it, so it’s definitely true.

Doesn’t surprise me. “Better than Google” = “never question again”
No one cares about our privacy. Even us.
I do 🫤
