      The source code is closed so you cannot check Apple allegations only trust them and I don’t trust a company who puts a advertising ID on its phones

        Do you trust Google? They do a LOT more than add a highly anonymous advertising ID you can reset at at will.

        Marketing departments around the world collectively shat their pants when Apple did that change, it made tons of user tracking instantly completely useless.

          Yeah well, they wouldn’t buy earphones with fucking cameras on them from Google either, now would they?

      Only because everyone’s on edge, give it a few years and they’ll need “anonymised” data collection to “help improve their service”

          Edge is what you use to download a browser.

        Have they done it with FaceID yet?

        It can detect accurate facial expressions, it’d be advertising gold to see what faces people pull when watching ads, even see if they’re looking at the phone

      I suppose they really wanna use all that R&D that they did on gesture tracking with the vision somewhere.

        Yep, imagine skipping tracks with a specific gesture instead on fondling the white nub poking out of your ear
