This is stuff they collect when you are interacting with Apple services. The problem with windows copilot is that it collects info about everything you do, even when it has nothing to do with Microsoft.

Does "our other products and services" not include macOS? I mean, you don't stop interacting with their product when you open other programs. You're using their product as a means of accessing them.

Since you are being vague, I am assuming you are saying thats it's only exclusive to Apple-made stuff.

You don't know that, and can't say bullshit like this as if you are an authority on this subject working at Apple.

Please provide sources for your claims.

His source is your quote, they specify it in their verbiage right there.

That's crazy because Apple is ALSO collecting telemetry at all times just like Copilot is, but Apple has brainwashed too many idiots with their master-level marketing that everyone comes running to hypocritically defend Apple doing what Microsoft does, despite the fact that Apple has been doing this years before Microsoft had the capability or appetite to do the same thing.
