What are some unexpected things that would differ between two iPhones of the same model running the same versions of the software stack?

- mikeash 10y agoGood question. I'm not particularly informed on this stuff, so take this with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that mobile devices in general and iPhones in particular are much harder to fingerprint reliably. Things like time zone, clock skew, and ping times might help differentiate users, but you probably can't get it down to a single person. I imagine there's still a use for fingerprinting which helps you differentiate groups of users even if you can't narrow it down to just one.
