It's easy for Apple to say they don't link data between services when Apple offers no services of any particular value. Clearly Apple does not combine iOS data with their search engine, which doesn't exist. Then oddly it goes on to imply that separate sign-on for iCloud and App Store and iTunes are somehow benefits to the user when in my experience those are clear anti-features. I do not, ever, want to be prompted for my password when getting a free app from the App Store and that happens all the fucking time.

What was the purpose of this statement? > Then oddly it goes on to imply that separate sign-on for iCloud and App Store and iTunes are somehow benefits to the user when in my experience those are clear anti-features They don't _force_ separate sign-on, they allow it. As in, obviously it is convenient to use the same Apple ID for everything, but if you have reason to want to use a different ID (privacy reasons, or older hardware with different capabilities) you can. Google does not allow this because it would dilute your ID (and therefore worth in ads). > I do not, ever, want to be prompted for my password when getting a free app from the App Store and that happens all the fucking time Change that simple setting? I'm not even an iPhone user, but man ...
