Agree on all points...
The only way to be sure that any email is genuine is to investigate the URLs that are REALLY on links and buttons.
- What URL displays when you hover your cursor over the blue [Take the Survey] button? If it has the " apple.com " at the end of the domain, it is very likely genuine - it may likely have a subdomain in front of it like the email address does " insideapple.apple.com " although that as a URL in a browser goes nowhere but an error page AT apple.com.
- If you click on the button, and it takes to an Apple domain - or could be somewhere else as a redirect to a "market research" company domain, you could safely work through the survey and see if they really try to gather personal identifying data and merely bail if so.
- OR you could just ignore it
http://www.apple.com/privacy/privacy-policy/ has a couple of references to online surveys in it - they do 'em and so do their affiliate service providers.

Is this a legal address? I've seen this format before. I've seen only two level domain qualifiers. That is I've never see letters where there is "insideapple."

Sep 14, 2016 7:46 PM in response to RickOxfordshireby jfaughnan,I got one today. I'm terrified that it's genuine. Because that means Apple is ... well ... you know.
