    In a quick read

    What I expect to see: How apple enables police to invade our privacy

    What I actually see: 3 apps that digitize paperwork and help police do thier job on iPhone, and CarPlay

    Conclusion: It looks like WWDC but for the cops. It is nothing wrong to use iPhone or whatever phone to make work more efficient. It is a tool after all.

    Forbes always has misleading, anti-Apple click bait.

    When it comes to Apple-related topics, I never click on Forbes articles. Their coverage is inherently misleading, but that strategy must be generating click-through revenue. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      “21 Ways Your iPhone is Spying on You” and it’s always dumb stuff like shady apps asking for permissions mouth breathers are stupid enough to allow. Then their website has 14 trillion tracking scripts loaded up; hypocrites.
