? The issue isn't that Windoes knows your location when you type an email, it's that it sends all this information and much more to Microsoft. If I type an email on my iPhone it doesn't get sent to Apple (unless, of course, I'm using my iCloud email account).
Additionally, Apple is very clear which what they collect and what gets sent to Apple. They go through it when you set your iOS or Mac OS X device up. It's not hidden in some "advanced setup" link.
- zimbatm 11y agoOn OSX there are a ton on Apple services phoning home for all sorts of reasons, all the time. Try installing Little Snitch some time and be amazed. And I wouldn't be surprised to see the same on the iOS devices. Any Apple device is super noisy on the network with just mDNSResponder alone. Most of them are also for useful features, it's just that they are all talking over the wire and potentially exfiltrating user information. I don't think that people realize how much data is sent around all of the time. Here is a non-exchaustive list just to give an idea: * locationd -> gs-loc.apple.com:443 * apsd -> .push.apple.com:80,443,5223 * mapspushd -> .ls.apple.com:80 * UserEventAgent -> :80 * ntpd -> time.apple.com * ocspd -> :80,443 * ... I didn't put all services. Notice that some data is not even encrypted.
