2. “so even if it is not true now”
This is you admitting that you actually don’t know that they are doing what you said they were doing.
You actually have no idea what Apple is collecting. You are just speculating based on a legal disclaimer about what they could be doing.
3. “it can be true tomorrow.”
Again you admit that you know that it may not be true.
Asserting something to be true, when you know that you really don’t know whether it is true, is called lying.
You lied when you made the claim earlier in the thread, and you doubled down on that lie by asserting that it was not false, when you were challenged about the truth of your statement.
That is not the data that is stored. You are deliberately lying because you yourself said that an encrypted identifier is stored with the data. As I already proved to you earlier, that encrypted identifier can be deanonymized by Apple.
> This is you admitting that you actually don’t know that they are doing what you said they were doing.
I showed that they were doing worse than what I had originally claimed, and you ignored that.
> You lied
You're the one who lied in my previous comment. Go see what it says. You can't even argue semantics like you're doing here.
Remember, the whole point is that on Google and Amazon allow you to turn off this data collection entirely, which is significantly better for privacy, and you have not been able to argue otherwise. Worse, you continue to ignore the app data tied to your identity. You are arguing for a bad actor, which makes you look absolutely silly, like somebody who was duped into overpaying for a worse device who feels the need to justify their foolishness to the world.
By the way, here's proof that they're not just making you consent to that scary privacy disclaimer for shits and giggles as you hoped against hope that they did: https://www.wired.com/2011/04/apple-iphone-tracking/
That's a really wacky contortion. Whose location is it then?
> nowhere states that your location is sent to Apple every time it is requested.
You're right. It's worse than that. I pointed out in that post that Apple periodically gets your location even if no app requests it. Apple also says that you consent to having your location collected every time another app requests it, so even if it is not true now (which you have not been able to show and which would mean they wouldn't need such a scary consent, so I highly doubt it), it can be true tomorrow.
The actually privacy-respecting Android devices from Amazon and Google do not suffer from this issue. Nor do they require you to tell anybody if you install an app on your device, tied to your identity, which you have once again ignored.
