Reply to comment by Wahaha in HOLY SHIT!!! Apple secretly constantly taking photos of face when phone held and active every 5 seconds and uses INFRARED and got caught! Apple claims its for training the AI to unlock, but now admits its to study EMOTION of user to autoselect emojis and study pupil dilation & facial expressions! by smartypants

I watched both the CringeTok and browsed the PDF, there's literally nothing mentioned about facial expressions. But hey, iPhones are still shit, so let's just not buy them, that's the only solution for now.

Apple did, often since 2017, scan faces for 30,000 data points in 3d FOR EMOTION TRACKING in Animojis in 2017 and later, but now in 2021 they do it on home screen and measure pupil and study gaze direction.

Learn and read. Lots of links support all I just typed.

Apple opposes Right to Repair (1, 2) and slows down old phones (NPR, BBC) which leads to people buying new phones earlier which is shit for the environment and of course not really owning a product you bought is shit, drove their factory workers to suicde (The Guardian), they are anti-competitive with their app-store, their products are overpriced, blablabla - don't buy Apple.

(yeah yeah, Apple isn't the worst, but that doesn't validate buying their crap or even claiming it's "good")
