New study shows that the default apps collect data even when supposedly disabled, and this is hard to switch off

but but the apple fanboys told me apple's proprietary ecosystem is somehow not a privacy nightmare!
Wow, how incredibly annoying. They discuss “the proper way” to protect your privacy throughout the entire article, clearly making it known that the researchers had the process and we’re seeing if people could figure it out and then…they don’t share it.
*privacy from everyone except us, which conveniently makes our ad revenue line go up.
Thanks to grapheneos, I don't have to worry about such things 🥳
If only GrapheneOS were available on more devices than just the Pixel
Pixel phones completely stock are a privacy nightmare, but are ironically the most secure phones on a hardware level, which is why GrapheneOS devs chose them.
True
people don't even think about apple, when talking about data privacy. they look google, amazon and facebook differently than apple.
i'm using an iphone and i had to pay for icloud storage for like a year or two. than, i bought a pc with 2tb ssd and wanted to download all of my data from icloud and delete my subscription. downloading was no problem since you can request all of your data, problem was my 128gb data was not sorted and i had to delete all of my photos by hand from icloud.
i'm thinking about buying a google pixel 7a, since it's cheap and i don't need much more, and use graphene os with it. i can return my iphone when purchasing and 7a is gonna cost something like €100-200
I wanted to transfer video from an iPhone to PC. I usually back-up my Android device which has neat file structure and folder names. Viola iPhone folder naming is shit. I had to use "modified by time" to get the thing i wanted. There were so many folders with numbers.
This is why nothing with the Apple logo passes through the threshold of my home; not even their bullshit assed phones. If I'm working on degoogling myself, why in the fuck would I want to regoogle myself through another logo?
Is this process different than any other commercial operating system, whether on phone, tablet, or PC?
Yes. Apple doesn’t sell the data
