All you have to do is look at their business models.

Google exists because of your data. Without it they don't sell ads.

Apple exists because it sells devices. Consumer trust is critical. If it turns out Apple is lying about differential privacy, on-device data processing, etc, then that trust would be broken.

Were Apple lying about your privacy, that information would leak out. It always does.

But go ahead and keep the tinfoil hat firmly in place because you'd rather hate Apple than go with the more secure, more private offering.

Hate Apple? Where did you see I hate Apple? I understand it's comfortable for you to think that since it allows you to continue believing incorrect things about how these companies operate.

The discussion is about disputing the claim that Apple cares about your privacy while Google doesn't.

I'm just demonstrating this argument is not just nonsense, there is simply no way to know what either of these companies do with your information and saying that you don't trust Google with your data and therefore, you pick Apple demonstrates a fundamental ignorance of how both companies work.
