After iOS 16 Apple asks for ‘analytics’ to improve iOS.
It is disingenuous of them to use the word ‘Tracking’ for everyone else and ‘experience improving’ for themselves.

#32Apple: Proof you can pay and still be the product.
It's like someone breaking into your house and rummaging through your desk taking photos because that suits them and there is fine print. One day as a society having a networked cpu involved in someone doing something won't make nearly every lawmaker, lawyer, judge and customer have their brain fall out of their ear and they'll actually be able to think critically about it and respond.

I mean, tracking lets companies identify you across different events. Apple doesn't need to ask for that when you are using iphone. I don't even mean it in a malicious way, just the fact that it will keep doing authenticated requests to their servers. They are not able not to track you while providing their services.

#35One doesn't become a near-monopoly to play nice, you should assume everybody does everything they can get away with.

#36It's interesting that the researchers assumed turning off the transmission of device analytics would also turn off the transmission of all app analytics, whether from Apple or third parties.
I also wish they would've tried Lockdown Mode, at least.

I bought an Apple device. Did not sign up to be anyone else’s payday. I want Apple to improve their devices. Don’t care if anyone else benefits from it.
Really frustrating to live in a country that wants forced socialization if their is opportunity to make money off me, but otherwise I’m just a cost center.
In no way does my use of an Apple device act as an open door for anyone else.
I’m not interested in technology to help some coder feed himself but because tech is fun and intellectually interesting.

#38I don't understand people still hanging on to the fiction that Apple is some sort of bastion of privacy. Do they know that google pays Apple "an estimated $8-12 billion"[0] to be default search and as a result track almost all iPhone users' searches? If that's not "selling your data" I don't know what is.
