 Still closed source and they have never been audited to show they are not taking private user data. No?

 You can verify this when they release it. Just disconnect from the internet and use it.

 Yes, but when it is connected, what data is shared to their severs in secret? You can't know unless a third party audit.

 If I heard correctly they had a third party audit. Not 100% sure

 Couldn’t it just log and send the report when you reconnect?

“iPhone Storage > System Data” has quite a few GB of black box data that is constantly fluctuating in size.
Could easily be logs that I never see.

 They are audited continuously by independed hackers reverse engineering all their products. Sometimes they find something leaking private data and Apple is so much backlashed, so they are very motivated to not lie.

 If true then open source isn't needed.  A FEW hackers isn't enough eyes.

 I agree not enough. But I complained it is not zero.
