If two people have the same model iPhone and same version of iOS how different or similar would the fingerprints be?
My iPhone is allegedly unique to 1 in 2,147,483,648+ devices.
But I wonder how true that is, given how many people use the same model and iOS version as me.
- ivanjermakov 11mo agoThere is a couple of hardware/software independent data points: time zone, currency, locale. And if every option cuts the user base in half, becoming unque is a matter of 33 such options.
- pwython 11mo agoThe fingerprint is comprised of more than device and OS: Browser type and version Screen resolution Installed fonts Browser plugins and extensions Canvas fingerprinting data WebGL (graphics hardware info) Time zone Language settings IP address HTTP headers Touch support Device type AudioContext
- QuantumNomad_ 11mo agoYeah but several of those will also be the same if you have the same iPhone model and iOS. Safari browser updates are installed as part of iOS update. So anyone with the same iOS version has the same version of Safari.
