Not my title! I do think we are being listened to. And location tracked. And it’s being passed on to advertisers. Is it apple though? Probably not is my take away from this article, but I don’t trust plenty of others, and apple still does

    It can always be explained by something else. Recency bias being a big one. It’s very possible you saw an ad yesterday as well, but didn’t notice you saw it because you haven’t talked about that item. Talk about it today, see the same ad, and now you think you’re being listened to.

    It’s very possible your father googled something after hanging up the phone. There are endless ways they can connect you to knowing your father.

    It’s possible someone on the same wifi network as you or your father overheard the conversation and looked it up.

    All of these are far more likely than everything you say and do being recorded without anyone ever finding any definitive proof.
