> unless you explicitly choose to help improve them.

Is it opt-in or opt-out? Big difference.

The sentence prior states: "Privacy is the default, not something you have to manage."

Explicitly choosing to help improve something by providing your data seems like an opt-in but what do I know these days

Opt-in = explicit and opt-out = implicit. You can't have implicit opt-in, that wouldn't make any sense.

You can't have implicit opt-out either. Opting is an explicit act.

So far Apple has been using default-checked checkbox during onboarding process for OS-level “help us improve…” diagnostics collection. Not sure about this specifically.

I don’t think that counts as an automatic opt-in, given that it’s presented to the user directly during the setup process.
