Tech users have long questioned whether mobile devices and smart speakers eavesdrop on their private
conversations. Apple answered that question Tuesday with a resounding no.
In a letter to federal lawmakers, the tech giant insisted that iPhones do not listen to what users are saying
and said third-party app developers don't have access to audio data.
"iPhone doesn't listen to consumers except to recognize the clear, unambiguous audio trigger 'Hey Siri,'"
Timothy Powderly, Apple's director of Federal Government Affairs, wrote in the letter, which was obtained by
CNN.
"The customer is not our product, and our business model does not depend on collecting vast amounts of
personally identifiable information to enrich targeted profiles marketed to advertisers," he added.
