Rumored, Never-to-Be-Released Apple Feature May Have Been Too Much Truth for Most Consumers
On some level you already know your Apple gadgets are linked nodes on a network with your most sensitive data coursing through it. If you’re like many users, your app states, documents, health information, photos—possibly including nudes—and maybe your payment and banking codes, along with the passwords that unlock them, all exist nowhere and everywhere, because their real home is an Apple server. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, a forthcoming gadget-leasing plan (because remember: the future of tech is owning nothing) may allow users to pay monthly fees for all eternity and receive perpetually new gadgets in cycles from 12-36 months long.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
On some level you already know your Apple gadgets are linked nodes on a network with your most sensitive data coursing through it. If you’re like many users, your app states, documents, health information, photos—possibly including nudes—and maybe your payment and banking codes, along with the passwords that unlock them, all exist nowhere and everywhere, because their real home is an Apple server. Incorporate a new device into the network, and with a few button presses all that data will be accessible on the replacement, and you’ll try not to think about how you didn’t exactly open up a safe and retrieve it…
Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at Gizmodo.
