This is amazing. I hope Google takes a lesson from this for Android o. I manually deny location permission to uber after every ride.

I've been an Android user since my first smartphone, but Apple's privacy and human-hand-sized phones really had me considering an iPhone for my next purchase. I ended up with a Pixel anyway, since I can't use iTunes and I like having a filesystem and using Firefox, but it was a near thing.
Haven't used iTunes in a decade, there is a new files app (thank god), and Firefox and focus have been available for years.

Most of iCloud is encrypted at rest. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202303
Interesting omission of iMessage here... since it's not encrypted at rest on their servers.

Recently Uber updated their app to track and report users' locations even when the app was not being used.
This is why IOS needs profiles. It's that or you just uninstall the app after each use, which is a pain.
I really like Apples pro-privacy stance, in contrary to Google & Microsoft. Hopefully sometime soon Apple will also encrypt iCloud contents so data from non-american people (europe in my case) is protected against the US government prying eyes. Our data/privacy seems pretty well protected inside Europe, but in America we seem to have 0 privacy rights (America first...!)
Location privacy controls and more have been in Windows since Windows Phone 7 and Windows 8.

I thought 3rd party browsers have to use the system HTML renderer, which means Firefox can't support extensions like uBlock, Toggle Animated Gifs, etc.

What about the desiredAccuracy property of CLLocationManager [1]? [1] https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/clloc...
There is no specific permission for accuracy, which I think was the point there.
