Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?

Do you trust apple with their claims?

I found it really weird too, Microsoft pushing Recall, an AI feature, vs Apple pushing Apple Intelligence, an AI feature.. and only Microsoft got backfired.

Recall was set to be default on for everybody and to record everything in a database which is trivial to extract data from.

There's a lot of nonsense Apple is doing too (like the chatgpt integration) but they didn't put keylogger into the system.

One records your every moment and was instantly exploited to get every piece of data you ever saw and the other does things when you ask it too and asks you before sending data off device. These are clearly exactly the same thing.

Hmm didn't know iCloud was on device...

iCloud is a data backup system, it has nothing to do with the topic at hand

I guess I thought it was the primary data storage dump. My point is that your data is already sent before you had a choice.
