Picture: REUTERS/ALY SONGApple on Monday launched a"sign in with Apple" function to rival Facebook and Google web login accounts, drawing a contrast with rivals by stressing protection of users' information.

Privacy themes ran throughout the event, with Apple creating a system for its users to sign up for apps with a randomly generated e-mail to avoid revealing their true address. The iPhone maker also tightened controls on location tracking, saying it would stop apps from scanning Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks to guess a user's location even when the user has disabled tracking.
