Ok so let’s play it out. I look at a picture of a cat, and Apple receives a completely anonymized log saying someone somewhere looked at a picture of a cat. This log has no information about me and cannot be tied back to me. Am I supposed to be concerned this is an affront to my privacy?

People want big data tech, most people think this is fine and not a privacy invasion. Apple’s approach to privacy is leagues better than e.g. Meta or Google. If you want no record, no accounts, no logs for anything ever, don’t buy a smartphone.
