Apple still needs data to build these locally running models. They advertise differential privacy as a solution for that but researchers aren't impressed (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.02753.pdf).

Meanwhile on Android you can opt for a different photo gallery app, giving Google _nothing_ to work with, while on iOS you're stuck with whatever Apple allows you to use.

You can install whatever photo gallery app you want on an iPhone and use that. It’s mildly less convenient, but not really a big deal.

That's good to know, thanks!
