[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3229524, member: 29267"] Definitely good to be thinking about these things. However, Apple has staked their entire reputation and the future of their company on their users’ privacy, to the point of repeatedly defying the Justice Department and sinking tons of resources into legal battles to protect the integrity of their products. Most people don’t know enough about how these kinds of products work to really see this, but Apple’s investment in technology to improve the security and privacy of their devices in the last 4-5 years has required [I]massive[/I] financial investment. They’re not just paying lip service to privacy. The kinds of things they’re doing to improve privacy are innovative and take a lot of work. So, there’s a chance it’s all a sham and they’re complicit with spying on the American people. I’m comfortable with the unlikeliness of that risk as I see it. There’s also the risk that their products aren’t perfect and expose their customers to security vulnerabilities. That’s certain. But Apple has demonstrated more commitment and ability to protect their users’ privacy than any other consumer electronics company. It’s also relatively trivial for them to verify that their products have been manufactured as specified without modification by would-be spies Chinese or otherwise, and you can bet they are doing that these days.
