A new interview with members of Apple’s privacy team answers many questions about how the company keeps its users safe.
If you like Apple, you probably know that they believe privacy is a basic human right. This idea is so important to Apple that they make ads about it.
The interview with Katie Skinner, Apple’s User Privacy Engineering Manager, and Sandy Parakilas, Apple’s Privacy Product Marketing Lead, explains how Apple protects user privacy. They talk about choosing privacy over advanced features, whether devices listen to you, and how Apple Intelligence fits in.
The 45-minute interview covers many topics quickly, and much of the information might seem repetitive to those already familiar with it. However, if you want a basic overview of Apple’s privacy practices and beliefs, this is a good resource to share.
The Apple privacy team provides detailed answers to all questions but doesn’t reveal anything new. Questions about the future of products like Apple Intelligence are avoided as expected.
Apple will release its new operating systems, including iOS 18, in the fall. These updates include new privacy features like the ability to hide apps, a new Passwords app, and per-app Contacts permissions similar to the Photos app.
