@thurrott But it does stay on your iPhone. It just also goes to their cloud, marketing department, sales people, third parties who pay, the Chinese government. But it also stays on your iPhone. Apple wouldn't lie to you!

An old saying best describes the true meaning of the Branson/Bezos flights: The difference between a man and a boy is only seen in the price of their toys
