    this isn’t an android. When you turn something off on an iPhone, it turns off.

      I don’t agree with this. While they have stated its against their stores policies to use permanent identifiers instead of your IDFA, I haven’t seen any stories of them actually enforcing said restriction. I’ve seen a lot of /them/ saying that they will and do, but I’ve never seen a story of a company saying they were disabled for it.

      On top of that, they didn’t forbid companies from using workarounds like a unique device fingerprint using your current device configuration for it either, so many apps just did that instead, which brought everyone back to square one again, they just switched to using a third party to identify the device instead of using apple’s first party solution.

      Privacy advocates actually warned that apples way of marketing this feature would do exactly what is occurring here. Giving users a false sense of privacy when really very little has changed.

      In this case, perhaps. The problem is it’s what Apple offers, or nothing.

      …I really, really miss my jailbroken iPhone. Honestly I would trade for a (working) iPhone 6 without even blinking.

        I’m sorry to hear that an iPhone was somehow too difficult for you to use.

        Best wishes ❤️

              They gave more than condescention. Interesting that’s all you read… Apple fanbois are almost as bad as Disney Adults… Ya’ll sycophantic morons.

          They just said they wish they could have an iPhone, and that it was jailbroken. Implying a power user who knows what they want (an iPhone) and how to use it. And this response wouldn’t have been appropriate for almost any context, but in this one it’s particularly nonsensical.

            That is not what they said

            If you have to lie in order to make your point, then you have lost the argument already

              If you have to lie

              Yeah, ok. Last I checked, telling someone they didn’t read correctly wasn’t an argument. And you didn’t read correctly. At all. Or maybe it’s you who is lying? That would be explained by this comment being pure projection.

                No, but all of the false claims you made certainly count as a lie.

                And since you’re obviously quite skilled at selective omission, pick the part of this next phrase you like the most: eat me

      Most settings on iphone only turn off the capability for you, not apple. Wifi is a good example. There is litereally no way to turn the radio off, and the settting merely prevents your use of Wifi while Apple still continues to use it in the background (for Find My mesh and location traction among others).

      It literally says you will see an equal amount of ads, just not personalized.

        Yeah, and the obvious benefit is that they aren’t harvesting my personal data to fuck me in the ass with ads.

        You have chosen the “fuck me in the ass with ads” option. as someone who loves getting fucked in the ass, I tip my hat to you.

        And you hallucinate that that somehow makes you better than me? Or that it’s the better choice?

        I am not beholden to your hallucinations. I can actually make better choices for myself. I urge you to do the same.

        Apple may harvest my personal data, but they never sell it. The worst with that that will ever happen. Is they use my personal data to sell me an iCloud subscription.

        Those who make android? Their entire business structure relies on them selling your personal data. Which, of course, they can easily harvest from their custom operating system.

        Anyone claiming that android is somehow more secure than iOS will never get anything but the deserved amount of ridicule

        If you have any evidence that could prove me wrong, you would have provided it already.

        “MONEY=BAD” is a hilarious argument when you are arguing in favor of Google

              How you know I’m full of shit is that your brain is set to “apple good” with no other priorities in the mix. What people like you don’t realize is that I could literally not care less what you believe. The responses I leave here are for non-zombies reading the thread.

                See, this is what a delusion is. You’re hallucinating things I never said, and imagining things I’ve never thought.

      Really? What happens if you turn off wifi or bluetooth? Last I checked, they will turn back on after some time. (But haven’t had an iphone in some time now)

        How would you know? Do you have an iPhone? Are you just a lying poser?

        Once again, I’m sorry that an iPhone has proven too difficult for you to use. You have my regards.

        Turning off Wi-Fi or turning on, Bluetooth has an option to turn it off permanently or turn it off for 24 hours. Once again, it’s an iPhone is too difficult for you to figure out, you have my condolences.
