        this isn’t an android. When you turn something off on an iPhone, it turns off.

          Most settings on iphone only turn off the capability for you, not apple. Wifi is a good example. There is litereally no way to turn the radio off, and the settting merely prevents your use of Wifi while Apple still continues to use it in the background (for Find My mesh and location traction among others).

            I don’t know who told you this insane bullshit, but not a word of it is true.

            I’m sorry to hear about your imagined misery

          In this case, perhaps. The problem is it’s what Apple offers, or nothing.

          …I really, really miss my jailbroken iPhone. Honestly I would trade for a (working) iPhone 6 without even blinking.

          I don’t agree with this. While they have stated its against their stores policies to use permanent identifiers instead of your IDFA, I haven’t seen any stories of them actually enforcing said restriction. I’ve seen a lot of /them/ saying that they will and do, but I’ve never seen a story of a company saying they were disabled for it.

          On top of that, they didn’t forbid companies from using workarounds like a unique device fingerprint using your current device configuration for it either, so many apps just did that instead, which brought everyone back to square one again, they just switched to using a third party to identify the device instead of using apple’s first party solution.

          Privacy advocates actually warned that apples way of marketing this feature would do exactly what is occurring here. Giving users a false sense of privacy when really very little has changed.

          It literally says you will see an equal amount of ads, just not personalized.

            Yeah, and the obvious benefit is that they aren’t harvesting my personal data to fuck me in the ass with ads.

            You have chosen the “fuck me in the ass with ads” option. as someone who loves getting fucked in the ass, I tip my hat to you.

            And you hallucinate that that somehow makes you better than me? Or that it’s the better choice?

            I am not beholden to your hallucinations. I can actually make better choices for myself. I urge you to do the same.

            Apple may harvest my personal data, but they never sell it. The worst with that that will ever happen. Is they use my personal data to sell me an iCloud subscription.

            Those who make android? Their entire business structure relies on them selling your personal data. Which, of course, they can easily harvest from their custom operating system.

            Anyone claiming that android is somehow more secure than iOS will never get anything but the deserved amount of ridicule

              Damn, did someone shit in your lightning connector?

              Google also doesn’t sell your data, they just sell ad space. Just like Apple. The only thing different is that you believe Apple’s marketing.

              The only one here with a superiority complex is you.

              And for your information, I use a custom ROM with everything of Google stripped out and every ad blocked on the kernel level. Try that with your ad-infested data-harvesting iphone.

          Really? What happens if you turn off wifi or bluetooth? Last I checked, they will turn back on after some time. (But haven’t had an iphone in some time now)

      We get it, you’re paid by Apple.

      Or, I hope someone sucking corporate cock like you do is getting paid at least,.

        I’m going to save this comment as an excellent example of someone who is a “fanatic”. Someone who believes that the only way someone could disagree with them is if they were paid to do that.
