Actually, all smartphones are designed to spy; not just Apple or their products. Never use any smartphone! I'm one of the lucky ones that never bought one. To this day, I still don't see the need for one. People always tell me "but you can do this or that" and I just look at people who (constantly) use them as addicts, zombified individuals looking for their next dopamine hit. The 'convenience' angle has never sold me on the idea of buying one. However, I realize most people now can't go back and have become reliant on them, to their own detriment.
