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 🥳
GrapheneOS + Linux Is the only way to truly have digital privacy.
Most people think iPhone + Mac is. So, so wrong.
What do you think about Pinephones? I’m thinking about buying one as my next phone.
Google services are unfortunately pretty important to most users day to day life. I have tried degoogled android but have always come back to graphene.
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
they obviously not on the same level as google and meta, and media writes often about apple not wanting to unlock a criminal’s iphone in a fbi case.
average user just knows that apple doesn’t give your data to 3rd party, nobody thinks about apple being the bad one here.
apple not wanting to unlock a criminal’s iphone in a fbi case.
They couldn’t unlock it. If they could, or if the criminal had used iCloud backup, they’d have done it instantly.
What the FBI wanted was for Apple to make a “rooted” iOS version and update the phone with it, and that version would give them access to everything on it.
Apple didn’t want to do it because that iOS version could be used to get into any iPhone and it would’ve destroyed their image with their customers. Also, legally they could not be compelled to make a break-in tool.
Anyway, it was all for their own protection not for the principle of privacy.
