Your reference or comment doesn’t disprove my point, but with the way you wrote it, it seems like you think it does? When they say unrelated, they mean offered by different providers, not of different purposes.
If you play around with definitions enough, nobody is collecting unrelated data I suppose.
I think you made a poor choice of words. You probably meant 3rd party apps not related.
Regardless - I also don’t think it’s meaningfully better that Apple links financial and health data to sell Ads vs. Google or Facebook linking the same data from two external sources.
Revenue and regulations are not relevant factors in this argument.
Tbh if you are charging $1000+ for handsets.. why are you trying to scrape my data as-well or show me ads ?
Forget personalized vs. non-personalized. I paid a premium, I want an ad-free experience.
