Thankfully iOS is pretty complete without apps. I don't use apps, I don't find them more convenient than websites. I use my phone like a basic computer. I only really use more advanced things outside of news/calendar/maps on a home desktop PC.
I'm not particularly old-fashioned as I had a 12 year career in FAANG mostly working with sensitive PII and business data which is quite boring if you're not a criminal. But I understand that there is no real way to enforce the kind of privacy standards people seem to assume exist.
- dbtc 2y agoiOS devices come with apps pre-installed and this article is about how those apps do not conform to Apple's privacy policies.
- neuroelectron 2y agoYes I read the article and the only new information for me was the opt-in dialog being used 4 times vs 2. I must not understand it because I've never seen it. The only one I can recall is the one they spam every time iOS updates, asking me to use Wallet several times until I navigate to the menu in settings. What it doesn't mention is that ATTF is a voluntary program with no enforcement mechanism, currently.
