At Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), Apple made several announcements that focus on user privacy.

Specifically, advancements to;

location tracking
on-device data processing
finding your devices
3rd party app sign-ins

Each of these features follow the same patterns: your data stays under your control and as close to your devices as possible.

There's a competitive advantage to Apple but some big wins for customers around privacy.

Lots more as these operating systems continue their development.
