Yeah but its OK when its Apple and not Zuckerberg who are doing it. I have no idea why Apple keeps getting away with everything they do. They could release Metas creepy smartglasses tomorrow in an aluminium finish and people would love them and excuse any privacy concerns.
that's how you know it's a cult
I don't know if I've read of any Apple fans who don't think this is creepy or at the very least wildly unnecessary as a feature.
People like to feel like they belong.
Except for neurospicey assholes like myself. Lol
Cult of personality and brand loyalty. They are still riding Steve Jobs' creation of a "movement". Bowel or otherwise.
