And you have to 'activate' an iOS device with a SIM card. No such need for any android device.

And Apple is in the forefront of pushing for a integrated "SIM", effectively going back to the CDMA days...

Is also worth remembering that all phones track you and that people who have access to the mast data can do stuff like this - https://ubicomplab.cs.washington.edu/pdfs/wibreathe.pdf
