Quoting from the flowchart:

"Touch ID or FacelD are stored locally and cannot be accessed by the operating system or applications."

Called out as if it's a bad thing??? It's a really weird flow chart.

Meanwhile, Apple did more work on differential privacy than anyone, famously sandbagging their Maps directions / routing by refusing to collect your route A to B, instead segmenting the trips and disassociating them.*

Across the board, they create incredible hurdles for themselves at great expense.

One wonders why, when Apple have to compete head to head with firms that do not sandbag themselves.

Perhaps it's because Apple has to get most of its revenue from device sales and user subscriptions, while the others get almost all of their revenue from turning user data into ads, so they actually are fundamentally different in mindsets?

So it's rather: You have to make it sound bad or no one would read your press release.
