Apple has been developing the ability to pay for purchases on the iPhone using Siri since 2019, but engineers abandoned the implementation of this feature due to privacy concerns, according to The Information.
The publication emphasizes that Apple engineers often face strict privacy restrictions when developing various features. They believe that the strict privacy policy stifles Apple services and makes it difficult to compete with Google and other companies.
The development of the Siri checkout feature has stalled due to the company’s privacy policy preventing a person’s Apple ID from being linked to their voice request.
The Raise to Speak feature for the Apple Watch, which allowed Siri to be accessed by raising the wrist without saying “Hey Siri,” had a similar problem. The engineers abandoned development due to concerns about collecting data from the microphone and accelerometer.
The Information also notes that engineers and staff working on Siri, the App Store, and the Apple Card often have to “find creative or costly ways to make up for the lack of access to data.”
