Need another reason to
upgrade to iOS 8? Apple can’t see any of your personal information if you have a passcode enabled on devices running the new OS. And if Apple can’t see it, the government can’t, either.</p><p>
Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed the company’s new privacy measures in a
Wednesday night letter that not-so-subtly slammed other tech companies like Facebook and Google.</p><p>
“Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products,” Cook said. “We don’t build a profile based on your e-mail content or web browsing habits to sell to advertisers. We don’t ‘monetize’ the information you store on your iPhone or in iCloud. And we don’t read your e-mail or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple.”</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2685600/apple-updates-privacy-policy-we-sell-great-products-not-your-data-says-tim-cook.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
