MacVoices #25014: Live! - Apple’s Privacy Initiatives, Dell Copies, Apps Leaking Data


Listen Later

This MacVoices Live! starts off with some commentary by Chuck Joiner on what he saw and what happened at CES 2025. Those included an affirmation of Apple’s focus on privacy as well as a misstep by Dell that resulted in a less-than-ideal press conference. The panel of David Ginsburg, Jeff Butts, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jeff Gamet, Marty Jencius, and Jim Rea look at some notable apps suffering from a different kind of private data leak.
