  "summary": "Apple's focus on privacy sets it apart from competitors like Google and Meta. The company's App Tracking Transparency feature requires users to give permission for data collection, which has significantly impacted digital advertising on iOS devices. According to the Times of India, Meta reported a substantial revenue impact and faced financial headwinds due to this change.\n\nThe number of iPhone users worldwide is over 1.5 billion, as per DemandSage's February 2026 data mentioned in Fast Company.\n\nApple's iPhone launches have followed a familiar pattern, but this may change, as reported by Digital Trends.",
