From my perspective, their “commitment” to privacy is entirely marketing, and i have no reason on the code side to believe the things they say it does.
Apple security has for decades been considered a joke, as well, coming from someone in the field. Safari in particular is considered the beginner browser to target for hacking contests.
I also work in the field. While this assessment was pretty on point 10 years ago, particularly regarding security, I think the modern reality is a lot more nuanced.
For example, the secure enclave (present since the iPhone 5S, and Macs with a T1 or newer) still hasn’t been fully broken. FIrmware has been dumped, and vulnerabilities found, but nothing publicly that is able to decrypt private keys held inside.
That’s still a passing grade.
