We are discussing a specific set of technologies.

That said, camera's are already spreading pretty quickly (check out ring doorbell and friends) and homeowners are voluntarily registering these with local police departments.

So yes, people don't mind if they are recorded going into and out of their own house and voluntary let police review this footage.

Again, I think folks are overstating the "huge" damage to apple's brand.



People haven't had ring forced on them inside their homes yet.

Like I said in another comment, the principle is whether forcing surveillance on people to prevent crimes is ok. The set of technologies is irrelevant, Apple is going through personal information that has not been voluntarily shared with the public by the content owner to detect criminal activities. I don't see how that is different from installing microphones and cameras inside people's homes with the passive ability to detect crime. Why can't a landlord install this kind of technology in their tenant's apartments?
