I trust (with a reasonable amount of skepticism) Apple's intentions, in terms of using personal data (stripped of identifiers) to improve their products and services. I EXPECT Facebook/Meta, whatever, will steal as much data as possible, track our movements in our own homes, record every conversation, parse EVERYTHING, use machine learning and AI for the sole purpose of building a more robust, detailed digital profile of us than it already has and sell that our digital identities to anyone who wants to buy it. That's literally their business model.

I'd love to be able to buy an iPhone or iPad in India without having to pay 50% more than what someone would pay for the same product in the US. India's taxes and surcharges are ridiculous.

So Google will scan your iris when you walk into the store; they will then track your every move throughout the store, including your gait, how long you stayed at a particular station, what you picked up, how you examined it. They will also sample your DNA and fingerprints. They will record your conversations, analyze your mode, tone, inflection; note whether you were talking to one of their employees, or to your in-store companions. They will use all this data to "customize" your online experience as well as your future visits to the Google Store. They can then connect all this info with your face the next time you get onto Google Meet, or Zoom (because they'll hijack your camera if you use Chrome)."

Sweeney Todd did not prepare well for his testimony. He looks totally out of his element, and his answers sound like he just woke up 5 minutes ago after a night of heavy partying.

So, I'm guessing this year's WWDC will introduce a new MacBook Pro (M2) and iMac Pro (M2)?

Since I'm in a wishlist mode, it would also be cool to have new iMacs and MBPs with built-in LIDAR, so that we can do 3D gestures in space. as well as infrared and dot projectors for FaceID. But keep TouchID also.
