Leaving Apple and Google: more devices now supported

Requiring a physical address to create an Apple ID to download free apps doesn’t seem privacy oriented to me.

Sure, I can use a fake address, but what if they start to check against it and then lock me out of my account?

It’s bad enough all the players require my full name. I do use an alias whenever I can, but for vital accounts, I don’t because I’m afraid one day they’ll ask for a government issued ID to verify my account or I get locked out.

Usually “None” is an available option for payment method. This does depend on your region though.

You can do without by using prepaid cards you buy with cash.
