Put privacy and transparency first. It’s in the best interest of your user.

Sounds like a joke after discovering that they transfer information about each application you open to their server via plaintext and without your consent and without a way to opt-out and by pass OS level firewalls (though firewall in router would work obviously)

This is, sadly, about as close as you can possibly get to a “we fucked up” from Apple PR: they’re deleting their IP logs, encrypting their shit, and letting you turn it off. This is great, but they have remained totally silent on the fact that their OS apps will still bypass your firewall and leak your IP and location past your VPN on Big Sur
