Apple’s Anti-Tracking Plans for iPhone

This is an incomplete understanding of iOS. You can hardware ban an iPhone by flipping an app-reserved bit.

Can you please elaborate? How does this work? Have never heard of such a thing.

EDIT: I believe Apple's DeviceCheck API is what the parent refers to. Thank you!

Not his solution, but just grab the identifierForVendor off UIDevice and ban that.

Alternatively:

> "Using DeviceCheck API’s, in combination with a server-to-server APIs, developer can set and query two bits of data per device. It will also maintain the user privacy, by not disclosing any user or device information, which is the priority point for every Apple user and most point of concern of every mobile user."
