> Apple is doing it to improve its apps for YOU This seems subjective; other companies could claim the same. E.g.: FB says they're trying to show YOU more relevant ads. > The data may be in Apples iCloud but is 'private' This seems more objective to me and a better indicator of actual privacy. Still, we should keep in mind that Apple's goals may change in future and that they might change their approach. |

But how do we measure that?
Apple went into differential privacy a while ago, which really isn't about privacy, its about anonymisation. Which is not the same thing. Private means that no one else but you[1] can see your stuff
Anonymous means that people can see your stuff, but they don't know who you are. This is different.
[1] well mostly only you
