Then it shouldn’t be difficult for you to provide me with some examples, considering the other listed companies literally do it openly as a major part of their revenue stream.
We should absolutely be upset with the shit Apple is doing, but right now you’re just being contrarian with a false argument.
Go to Google and search for "is Apple selling data". Have fun reading about how, yes they have been caught doing it in the past and are still being suspected of it. You're naive if you think just because it isn't public knowledge yet that one of the cruelest companies on the planet isn't in to some other nefarious crap.
I did what you said, and found this article that goes into what Apple does collect, compared to what Google collects, and confirms that no, Apple is not selling your data.

So I guess that means you’re wrong?
Maybe next time argue with facts and not feelings.
I'm not the one going to bat for a trillion dollar company simply because they said "trust me, bro".
Even if you it opt out on Apple devices they continue to gather data. Why do you think they do that? Fun? They just collect it like Pokemon?
There only "feeling" I have is pity for naive users such as yourself. As long as Tim Cook keeps telling you it's safe you can rest easy knowing you're 100% not being lied to.
lol I give you a source that refutes your “Apple bad” argument and you have to resort to going after me personally because you have nothing left.
The data collection you mention is device and usage stats, which basically everyone collects. But that was never the issue, which was selling user data for profit. The source I provided compares what Apple and Google collects and determines Apple does not do this.
You can also look up revenue streams for both companies and clearly see that while Apple does not consider this as a revenue stream, it makes up a significant portion of what Google brings in every year. At that point I think you just have misdirected anger.
You know what? You're right. Everything I said was wrong. Apple is a wonderful company that doesn't do enough "bad" to be considered as such. How foolish of me to think otherwise. I hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive such a foolish, moronic soul as mine for not understanding just how amazing Apple is. In fact, I'm going to dump all my open source software, my phone and everything else I own that can be replaced by an Apple product so that I too may live in the same walled paradise you and billions of other users do! Thank you so much for showing me the way!
Dude, get ahold of your emotions. 😂
Do you have a hard time recognizing emotions? Might need to get checked for autism.
I’ll do that just as soon as you show me something definitive showing that Apple has an entire revenue stream based on selling user data that isn’t reported.
