Two weeks ago I attended an Apple Event for Government and Education in Chicago. From my perspective was absolutely alarmed at how open they were about tracking data and sharing. I think their marketing on "privacy" was dishonest at the least.
Apple puts constant pressure on the user to use an iCloud account. Apple puts constant pressure to manage apple Devices with a MDM profile based system. In both cases user privacy is lost.

I do think Apple's use of the term "privacy" is not completely honest. But we should note the difference between privacy and anonymity. Using iCloud provides privacy for the user; that is, Apple won't access your iCloud data. It is not however anonymous.
