I’m talking here about their hardware (MacBook, iPhone, iPad, iWatch) and software (iCloud, Apple One, mail, passwords, wallet, other apps), in terms of owning all of that.
What’s your opinion on using everything that comes from Apple? Is there anything that you would throw away from the “basket” full of apples? If yes, then what would be that and why?
iCloud private relay is highly underrated for privacy imo. You won’t hear a lot of agreement with me here, but it’s the best form of a privacy vpn. When you use a third party vpn you still have to trust the vpn company to respect your privacy whereas private relay, by definition, does not allow Apple or anyone else to scrape your data.
100% agree here.
The design of this is much better than VPN. Apple doesn’t know what you’re asking for or the data, but does know your ip. The CDN doesn’t know your ip but does know what you’re asking for.
And neither Apple nor the CDN have any way of matching the ip to the data at all since it’s abstracted several times and encrypted.
Note: I’m not an iOS user but this feature does tempt me to switch.
