I don’t care how much it was generating. It was a severe invasion of privacy. If that’s how they made their money, nothing of value was lost.
then it should have never been allowed in the first place
This is some super click bait and borderline deceitful blog. Apps on iOS are sandboxed so you can't access data about other app's launch and usage. These apps were using MDM profiles to get that usage data. This also meant that the user's internet data was going through these third parties which is a pretty big privacy issue. Plus having MDM profiles gave these third parties enormous access to the user's device setti…
You'd think that, as reasonably smart people, you might stop and ask questions such as: - Is this permitted within Apple's T&C's? - What are the privacy issues? More so if I'm not fully informing my users we're intercepting their data via VPN (I don't know if that's made clear via author's T&C's or during installation) - Even if all of the above were not concerns, am I able to properly secure user's data (against say…
Operating a VPN isn't any different than an ISP. Should that be a concerns for ISP too?
Most traffic nowadays is over HTTPS either way, so if that was even a concern, the ISP or VPN wouldn't be the cause of it, but the actual communication in itself.

Hell, go back to the early jailbreaking days - Clippy before apple had cut & paste, SwirlyMMS for picture messaging. Apple's been stealing idea for ages.
Really? Apple “stole” the idea of cut copy and paste? That was a criticism from day one on the phone. The other was not supporting MMS.

It doesn't seem to have been obvious to Apple, considering it took them two full years after the iPhone's launch to implement the feature.

But to think Apple - the company that had implemented copy and paste on Macs 23 years before then wasn’t thinking about copy and paste until they saw it on jailbroken phones is silly.
It’s equally crazy thinking that Apple didn’t think about implementing a standard phone feature until they saw in the jail broken apps.

And tried to make a compelling argument that MMS is passé. Everyone who needs MMS should use email instead.
He also said that you could make great apps by using the web. Until they turned around and introduced a native SDK nine months later....
Are you now going to say they “stole” the idea of an App Store from the few developers who were putting apps on jailbroken iPhones between July 2007 and April 2008?

So Apple should have thought of every possible rule when the App Store opened in mid 2008?
