Obviously, Apple could make it way easier for itself to track its users but it seems like it's trying real hard to go the opposite way when you read about it's payment protocol for example. And couldn't we say the same about the state ? That's a pretty big corporation too and we're obviously captive customers. So, where do we stand as individuals today ? > Perhaps the Swiss banks are the exception that proves the rule -- because > their important customers are among the elite? Swiss banks are exactly like Apple in that concern. But it is easier for them to create services that only appeal to the very rich, while Apple would waste considerable ressources trying to create very secure devices for very rich people and normal devices for normal people. So I'd say that Apple is the exception to the rule, not Swiss banks. Unless you convince me otherwise (see above).
