"Data usage & personalized ads" is not the setting I'm talking about. Personalized Ads is a different setting than the one I described, located in the "Apple Advertising" section, not the "Analytics & Improvements" section that I think the relevant setting lives in. "Data usage" isn't the name of any setting on iOS, that phrase is too vague to be sure what they mean. This is why I say that I'd like to see a screenshot of the relevant settings panes. How do I know this person didn't accidentally flip them back on during an update? OCSP isn't relevant to this issue. It's not "analytics," it does not seem to collect personal data, anonymized or not. OCSP is used to verify/revoke certificates, essentially for the purpose of removing malware and spam, which is a basic function consumer-friendly OS: https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/420002 https://apple.stackexchange.com/a/420002 To me that's a really legitimate use of a "phone home" when we're talking about commercial consumer operating systems.
