             Craig Federighi Discusses Apple's New Privacy Features

   Josh Centers

   Michael Grothaus, writing for Fast Company, [1]interviewed Apple's
   Craig Federighi about the new privacy features Apple announced at the
   WWDC keynote, including iCloud Private Relay, on-device Siri voice
   processing, Mail Privacy Protection, App Privacy Reports, and
   improvements to Safari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (see '[2]Ten
   Cool New Features Introduced at WWDC 2021,' 7 June 2021).

   Much of the article focuses on the new features in Apple's upcoming
   operating systems and is well worth reading for that alone. However,
   Federighi made some interesting comments too:
     * Apple views the success of App Tracking Transparency through the
       lens of giving users choice rather than opt-in rate. He supports
       stronger privacy protections at the government level but believes
       that firms like Apple will always be able to move faster.
     * He's hopeful that Apple's privacy moves will set an example for the
       entire tech industry.
