At this point expecting someone to have read them is just nuts. The "lawsuit culture" in the US, where you have to guard yourself from possible lawsuits all the time, have made these legal contracts comically bad. They have always been strange, since you typically get to read them after you unpack the phone/computer etc.
When you install an iphone it's even worse
They have a screen describing privacy.
You can click and see the privacy policy.
And then the privacy policy is actually pages and pages and pages of pointers to individual sub-privacy policies.
and there is no "I agree", they just show you all this.
You can opt out of some things later, but already they're a token gesture.
