@lelehier @EUCommission Not afraid of choice. People try to explain why Apple refuses to offer the choice. They implemented their own AI features in a way that they can’t ever access your data. If they open those APIs up to other vendors, they provide them with full access to nearly all data on your device. Apple can’t control what those vendors do with that data. They could easily offer the choice, but how would they warn an average user about what that would mean for access to their data?

@FrankauLux
Not true according to what Apple claims. The claim is that Apple can’t access your data, it is all handled on device or using private cloud compute which is designed to be an extension of your own device where Apple still can’t access your data. When Apple is forced to allow 3rd parties to offer the same functionality, they can’t guarantee that those parties would handle the user data in the same way.
