How many such completely useless departments are there at Apple?

As someone working in Product it's always shocking to me how Apple doesn't have a proper Product department. No Chief Product Officer, nothing. But then they get these useless C level exec posts that at best are Director level elsewhere (because there just isn't a big team/ownership behind it)

Is that why they've installed backdoors in iOS under guise of "for the children?

Or is it because they've handed over, quite eagerly I might add, the data on their servers for their Chinese customers to their Chinese masters?

Your data is not stored in Chinese server. Apple must follow Chinese regulations if Apple wishes to do business in China, or any part of the world by follow respective regulation. What is so hard to understand?

I was thinking she would go on to be a 'private' dancer...or maybe she saw the iPhone 14 and decided to run.

Don’t you know that you are more likely to be killed by a vending machine than a shark? You need someone there to manage that risk.

Hey, Privacy is not useless, it is a human right.

Everything that happens in my iPhone stays in the iPhone.

There is no way any app that went through the rigorous review process of the App Store is capable of harvesting my data, or scamming me out of my money, it is impossible.

Privacy at Apple is just an arm of the Public Relations and Advertising office.

Not gonna lie, you had me ready to rage until I saw the /s. Well played, sir/madam. Well played.

It's not easy finding a job especially with the tenure that she has. Must be months or years in the making for her to leave the post.

It’s been a year, this still hasn’t (and more than likely won’t ever)happened.
They announced it, there was universal pushback, they erased all mention of it and said they’re re-thinking it.
That’s Apple speak for “it was canceled because we don’t wanna be stupid.”

Having the role at CXO level SHOULD be a reminder to the entire company that it's important.
However, I kind of assume she was never treated as an equal with CTO, COO and CFO - which might explain her leaving.

In reality, this should probably be a lower level position with some sort of built-in escape valve where they had an internal channel directly to the board in case they were overturned on something they felt was important - but I don't really understand Apple corporate structure.

Also: Here in Europe, one of the reasons Apple sells so well is that they put a lot of stock in the privacy of their users.
Remember that it's part of EU law that our data should never touch American servers*, because you guys keep looking at it!

*: REALLY complicated topic REALLY simplified and exaggerated for effect.

Edit: Heh, I originally wrote "privacy of their products" by mistake, which is really more true of the pre-iPhone Apple :)

Back door? What a load of rubbish.

Sounds like lots of people in this forum should stop buying Apple products. Lol. If you don't like something just force it out of business and you won't have to deal with it again. So simple.

Agree. Probably most are Android users anyway, who simply don’t have a life beyond trolling Apple.

He needs to be CEO because he at least has a personality and a clue about product.

Firstly, T.C. absolutely knows about the products. Secondly, he has taken Apple to being the biggest company on Earth. So I think they have a better understanding of what it takes to be the head of a multi-trillion dollar company than… you.
