Reply to comment by Billh491 in Former Apple engineers say that Apple still holds a grudge over how Android allegedly copied iOS, and is steadily working to remove Google from the iPhone. by hollyflynn22

Not true. People are tired of Google following them & keeping records so essentially if you use Google you have no privacy.

With “people” do you mean a small subset of the population that is particularly prone to voicing their thoughts and frequents the same spaces as you?

Because most people don’t care about any of that.

This whole thing reminds me that apple was rumored to be working on their own search engine. I wonder if that has been the master plan all along. Take the 20b from google, use it to create your own search engine, then use software update to set it as the default for all 1.2b apple devices.

If spotlight is any indication of how it’s going it will be Apples biggest failure yet. Never had such displeasure using an Apple service or feature

Yet everybody is happy to use google maps and google search. Google isn’t going anywhere in the close future, they pretty much have a monopoly at this point.

You should rephrase that to: essentialy if you use a smartphone you have no privacy. Because Google isn’t the only one sucking up all your information.

Between Google, Facebook and the government privacy ceased to exist long before Y2K.

So basically if you open a browser and it loads google and you search on it, you have no privacy. That means millions of people around the world have no privacy and if they don’t why isn’t their info spread all over the world?
