Should be retitled “Android Ring Doorbell App...” because there is no mention of iOS or iPhone anywhere in the article.
Still sucks, but to iPhone users, this just validates their Apple purchase even more.
- dangus 7y agoDo you have some kind of source that would indicate that phone apps on iOS cannot possibly have any sort of 3rd party trackers? No claims in the article were made regarding the iOS version of the app, so I don't know why we should jump to the conclusion that the iOS version doesn't track what you do and report to 3rd parties. It looks like the iOS app was not included in the test at all, so no conclusion can be assumed.
- MR4D 7y agoI agree. But the titling is wrong because it only addresses Android. Likewise, if the reverse were true, and it only dealt with iPhone, then it should say iPhone in the headline because it didn’t address Android. This isn’t a preference argument for one phone or the other - it’s about clarity of what the article is about.
- mobjack 7y agoIt is likely that the iPhone app contains the exact same trackers. Those trackers are commonly used across platforms.
