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?

The class action suit that they would face for compromising that policy would be massive

Haha nah it wouldn't.

and they would hemorrhage customers

I mean all of their competitors give zero fucks about privacy soooo no.

You clearly don’t know many Apple users.

Hi! I know many Apple users, and 100% of them bought it because "bro, it's Apple". It's basically the "im not poor" message that the Apple logo gives. They don't care about anything else aside that it's Apple and it plays CandyCrush.

Sounds like you know a bunch of rich kids with iPhones. Recall is a Windows feature. I assume OP was asking about Mac users. The majority of Mac users are creators, who care very much about the privacy of their work.

Believe me, poor kids will save for an iPhone too. But yes, the Mac audience is a bit more professional, although I still know of a couple of dumbasses using Mac because of the aesthetics at Starbucks.

Everyone I know is an Apple user, unfortunately
