You made the accusation, you back it up. I’m not doing the leg work for you.
Apple’s entire schtick is the walled off garden where they can control what you’re allowed to do and yes they spy on it
You keep making that claim about spying without attempting to back it up.
You’re confusing me with others, just the once, but hey, you’re free to lick apple’s boots. Fairly common knowledge that just about everything corporation that can include spyware does. You think Apple doesn’t track every purchase you make on their platform and utilize that data in reference to your name, phone number, email, geo-location, bundle it altogether and sell to advertisers?
Yes. Free to think it because it’s true. Apple doesn’t sell their users out, they get their money up front on the hardware…the thing people like you call the Apple Tax.
Your memory is short. It passes through their servers. It may have much less attack vectors from a technical standpoint. That matters not when they give your data away to governments.
Here are a few examples, but if you do some research like I told you to, you’ll stumble upon many more:

Click bait
Click bait
Hardware flaw
None of this is spyware. Not a single piece.
If I cared I could have guessed these were some of the examples you added to your “Apple is bad head cannon” but these still aren’t what is being alleged by the original poster, spyware.
At best you can claim Apple is using terms and conditions to add wiggle room but again, not spyware.
I asked if you know what spyware is but I get that it doesn’t matter. Your head cannon is unbeatable and it’s easier to dismiss me as a no nothing asshole. The crowd has spoke, this technology forum is more interested in groupthink than technology.
What are your sources for debunking mine?
Besides you just not liking to face the truth?
Blanket surveillance is not clickbait,
it’s spyware, and a problem.
But sure continue to stick your head in the sand,
that will surely help humanity beat this problem.
