I don’t want my comments here to be received as shilling Apple, more that I want them to based on actual information that is provided and not opinion pieces.

The fact is, if they were to caught saving data then Apple would just end the contract. Is it worth it for them to lose out on that cash, for the sake of using it. When they can just use all the other sources where they are allowed to do that.

Anyway, I don’t care what anonymised data they may or may not save. It won’t be tied to me.

Edit: Do you have some information on this existing lawsuits and the contracts they broke?

Because Apples lawyers will go ham.

Google pays Apple $20 billion a year to keep their search on Apple devices. The subtext of "search" is Google pays Apple for your search data.

Apple has sold your data for the right price to Google, so there should be no expectation that they won't do the same with other companies.

They sell Google the right to keep it as the default, not that they’re selling data.

Again, point me to some proof of it being actually selling data. As to my understanding they pay for the default engine to be Google.

That Google is the search engine means Google gets that valuable search data. So they pay to be the default search engine to get your data.

Sure, but let’s be honest. Even if it wasn’t the majority of people are still using Google anyway.

I prefer Arc Search myself.
