Thurrott: Apple’s Biggest New Product Under Tim Cook? Your Privacy
Paul Thurrott hit the bullseye again today with an essay on the importance of privacy in Apple’s marketing – not just development, mind you, but marketing.
We’ve all heard the phrase “if you’re not paying for something, you’re not the customer; you’re the product being sold” (or similar). Apple has made it a mantra, a mission statement. And in this way, it is much like Microsoft used to be.
Under Cook, Apple’s dedication to a user’s inherent privacy rights is so strenuously enforced that the firm actually limits the capabilities of its products and services compared to those from Amazon, Google, Samsung, and others… Apple, thanks to Cook, is serious about this. It will not back down, even when the debate of the day is about breaking into a terrorist’s iPhone.
Excellent read. Yes, I know it’s a Premium article, but I continue to insist that $55/year spent on Thurrott Premium is a tremendous deal.

Thurrott premium subscription 25% off thru January 3
I sprinkle mention of Paul and Brad’s premium material through many posts here on AskWoody. Paul has just announced a 25% discount on his normal $64/year subscription price – through Jan. 3, a full year is just $48/year.
Thurrot.com’s premium content is well worth the price of admission – and supporting Paul and Brad is a generally Good Thing to Do.
Many of you know that I don’t agree with Paul or Brad on some subjects, but it’s important to keep their voices heard, loud and clear. Subscribing is the best way to do that.
