I tend to agree with him, and I really don't call that a double standard. Apple is not really in the business of collecting data about people for showing them targeted ads, but Google is (it's their primary source of revenue). So, when something iPhone's cell tower location tracking happened, I think the probability of Apple telling the truth (it was a mistake) is much greater than the opposite.

Google, Facebook and many other companies are different though. Collecting data is their primary source of revenue (unlike Apple & Microsoft that sell hardware and software).
