Another case of how Apple doesn't care about its customers. They offer the opt-out option but turn the service on by default and don't notify anyone.
Good thing (for Apple) most of their customers have had too much koolaid to care.

That said, it's also possible to recognize cases where their behavior might not be in the customers' best interests. Whether you think this is one of those cases probably depends on how much harm you think tracking does to the average consumer. Personally, I'm completely satisfied with their opt-out approach. People who care can opt out. The vast majority of people who don't* can receive more relevant advertisement. But I can accept that other people have different value functions where this approach would be considered less benign.
*And before someone quotes a survey where people claim to care, my personal view is that actions speak louder than words on this point. If you really care, you'd be taking steps to make yourself aware of what is happening on your phone and responding accordingly.

We're going to have to agree to disagree on that. One bit of snarky bullshit ruins the whole comment.
