Do you think people would be okay with 'Recall' if Apple did it? (discuss.tchncs.de)

With the recent WWDC apple made some bold claims about privacy when it comes to so called Apple Intelligence. This makes me wonder if they did something to what Microsoft did with Recall feature, would people be less concerned and to an extend praise their effort?

Do you trust apple with their claims?

I use GrapheneOS. What's it to you?

Almost like mobile operating systems that are open source so I can check for myself that they're not spying on me exist or something.

This is always an interesting statement “i can check for my self” i know for sure that most users never checked a single line of code in the open source projects. Maybe you do but 95% do not and make this statement.

The 95% who don't trust the 5% who do. If there is a backdoor in open source projects it gets known very quickly.

Apart from that, open source projects usually are not for profit, they have no reason to add random unneeded data collection features for example.
