Find it funny when I hear that people trust Apple. This is the same company where peoples private photos got mysteriously hacked. Plus Apple is the company that doesn't trust me or wall off competitors. Apple is out for money only. They use the you can trust me card way too often and typically against competitors. We will see proactive expand to use private data when it is monetarily necessary and financially rewarding for them.

To be frant I would love the Google features, but my major issue with my Apple stuff is that so many things just do NOT work, especially in regard to anything that requires a network.
Seriously, I cannot get changes on my Mac to sync to iCal, which means all appointments and phone numbers much be entered either on the iPhone or on the web. Siri often stalls, although she is a LOT better at understanding me now. Stupid Mail on my iPhone never seems to register deletes properly, so just-deleted emails sometimes pop up again, and it frequently says I have a new email message when I don't. Finally, iMessage sometimes sends using my phone number and sometimes my email, which makes it difficult to follow a thread. /rant.
So I guess the short story is maybe Apple should fix what it has before adding any major new networking features.

I voted 'No' just because I think there should be a consumer choice in the market. If you don't want your data shared, there's a market for that. If you're fine with your data being shared, there's a product for that too.
If Apple started using user data like Google, that choice would be far more limited. Companies shouldn't just do things because all the other companies are doing it. Sometimes, one should think different.

I voted no simply because I am tired of this doing things like the others...I want Apple to go back to waiting on new features and making their hardware work well, fix networking issues, and make iOS as stable as possible...iOS 7 was less stable than 6, but, iOS 8 has been horrible. Apple's goal needs to go back to giving the consumer a reliable product that just works, giving new features when they can make them function stably, even if that means they are late to the "game" of competition. I wish Apple would back off a yearly update and only release new major upgrades when they are ready, when they work well and are stable. The problem has been listening to investors instead of their customers and going by a yearly release cycle, instead of releasing products when they are ready like Tim Cook said they would several years ago.
I honestly don't give a d**n about proactive anything, I want my iPhone to be stable and reliable.
