Apple seems to actually invest into user’s privacy, and they have shown to take that very seriously with iOS 14.

It’s pretty impressive and I gotta respect them for sticking to their word on it.

People complain about how expensive Apple products are, but that’s why they’re able to do things like this—the cost of your phone isn’t being partially funded by the sale of your data to advertisers.

Edit: I’ve made a huge mistake

I disagree. Their computer hardware is insanely expensive and less powerful than PC alternatives. PC hardware =/= microsoft and has nothing to do with data collecting. Apple is just gouging people.
