Old John,

*WHEN* did you first realise that Apple HQ is monitoring 'everything' on 
every Apple device worldwide?

If Apple doesn't like what it sees, it can, and does, change things of 
its own accord.

We, the users, simply have to trust that Apple will take care of it's 
family - *US*!

I've always loved this:-

Classic computing: Computers do what you tell them to do,
not what you want them to do.
Modern computing: Computers do what they want to do,
no matter what you tell them to do.
