“That Apple has kept its work with cops largely under wraps indicates the company is aware that providing tech for police surveillance operations is inherently at odds with its pro-privacy marketing…”

Apple Sells Privacy To Consumers. But It’s Quietly Helping Police Use iPhones For Surveillance.

At Apple’s secretive Global Police Summit, cops from 7 countries learned how to use Apple products like the iPhone, Vision Pro and CarPlay for surveillance and policing.

So I read the article, and it says that Apple is selling functional integrations to cops for app use, but there’s nothing in here about privacy at all. It even says that the summit was canceled for 2024 due to its funding getting pulled and may not happen again. This headline feels misleading.

when i flip off my phone cameras i am assuming its people buying my data not police lol, just saying

I need a new phone. What do you recommend?
