Apple at least talks about privacy and security. Windows just dumped that shit right on you and is planning on storing in unencrypted databases... like, I would expect there to be enough brainpower at M$ to be able to write an application and then secure it... Just use Linux and when Ubuntu and Fedora decide they want to implement those features... OpenBSD it is :D

So photos were forever stored on a database... How's that privacy and security? This isn't even just another iCloud leak.. these were things people thought were deleted coming back.
Apple likes to talk because talk is cheap. Just like Apple used to say that Apple products didn't get viruses. Or how Google said do no evil. Talk is cheap.
As far as I know, Apple's implementation of LLMs is completely opt-in
Apple also has a MUCH better track record relating to user privacy over pretty much every other big tech company.
On the contrary, Apple's track record for collecting data is deliberately obtuse and utilizes dark patterns to make it as difficult as possible to not upload your info to them.
From the article,
the user is given the option to enable Siri, but “enabling” only refers to whether you use Siri's voice control. “Siri collects data in the background from other apps you use, regardless of your choice, unless you understand how to go into the settings and specifically change that,”...“In practice, protecting privacy on an Apple device requires persistent and expert clicking on each app individually"...the steps required are “scattered in different places.”
Apple devices might be arguably more secure than other vendors, but security and privacy are not the same thing.
