You wouldn't believe how much data Windows 8 and 10 send and receive on a well populated network with Internet access, we observe a great deal of phone-home requests and often have found Windows connecting to external up addressees that appear to be within azure that are sending unencrypted or overly verbose data in the background.

Never owned or observed network activity of an Apple device, so no idea about those. <offtopic:rant>Gosh, I'd wish there'd be a wiki full of packet dumps and protocol analysis, showing what modern software really is. So when a topic "$software is spying on users" happens one link can show what's exactly is sent (sure, there'll be a lot "some identifier, meaning's unknown" stuff there, but still), and, possibly, refutes popular myths too.</offtopic:rant>
