Apple CEO Tim Cook wrote an open letter to customers Wednesday detailing the company's privacy policy.

One portion of the letter sticks out in particular, and it's a clear jab at the way Google does business. Cook writes that many internet services are free, but use your personal data to market products to you.

"You are the product," Cook writes, referring to internet services like that.

That's how Google operates. Its algorithms scan your email, web searches, etc. in order to show you relevant ads. Facebook has a similar model.

Here's the key part of the letter:

A few years ago, users of Internet services began to realize that when an online service is free, you’re not the customer. You’re the product. But at Apple, we believe a great customer experience shouldn’t come at the expense of your privacy.

Our business model is very straightforward: We sell great products. We don’t build a profile based on your email 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 email or your messages to get information to market to you. Our software and services are designed to make our devices better. Plain and simple.

Apple's stance is to do the opposite and never look at your data.

Still, there are always tradeoffs. Google and Facebook make great products that you get to use for free. You might not pay money to Google and Facebook, but you do give up a little bit of yourself in order to make your digital life easier.

Havent got my tracking number, but was promised a friday delivery :)
 
I downloaded iOS8 on my wife and kids iPhones/iPads last night. Quick and easy!

My iPhone 6 Plus shipping status has now moved up to early October! Woo hoo!
 
WOW THIS IS AMAZING! I remember Mags talking about something similar, but I thought it was bullshit. Not anymore! Now it's awesome!!!

Do NOT put your phone in the microwave. This is a joke.
 
Downloaded iOS8. Not used to the keyboard yet. Mostly seems the same on first glance. The suggested typing shit is new? hah. didn't even notice that.
 
Moving the bookmark tab to the left side on safari sucks. As well as it being a side bar instead of a drop down
 
My ipad is noticeably slower after the iOS8 upgrade.

It is really bad on the 4S that the people in my office have. Heard Apple didn't want to allow it for the 4S but had to so they could also allow it for some older version of the iPad.
 
4th Generation iPad. Web pages load in stages, menus and navigation much slower as well.
 
Thankfully its not too late to migrate backwards, which i'm currently doing.
 
Thanks a lot dicks!
