I don't think I agree with your assessment of this for the following reasons:
1. Nothing here is being tracked "across other companies apps and websites", unless there's something here that shows Apple is cross-pollinating their data internally (which is possible but I don't see any evidence for here).
2. I disagree that this includes "App Store" app. The description given when you click the "About Analytics & Privacy" link explicitly states what the differentiation is and, to me, that does not include the App Store app.
- ezfe 4y agoOn the first point, we agree. On the second point, the App Store is an OS-level Apple Service, two things that the Analytics purports to provide.
- dkonofalski 4y agoConsidering that you can remove the App Store app from your home screen, I don't think it would classified as an OS-level service.
- ezfe 4y agoYou can hide it, but it cannot be deleted. It will always appear in the App Library.
- dkonofalski 4y agoI was about to respond with "Of course, how would you download apps otherwise?" but I'm pretty sure that's your point so you may be right here...
