With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

If we’re talking about privacy, this is just objectively not even close to being true.

the only reason apple cares about security is so theyre the exclusive vendor of your information.
they both play ball with everyone, apple just charges more

EDIT: IOS had a “feature” where it would phone home to ask if every application was allowed to launch, but it didn’t use any security like TLS. this is an unbelievable security hole that allows everyone on the wifi to see what youre doing and network admins to prevent you from running any program. this show how little they care about your privacy, and how much they care about control

Is there more info on that phone home vulnerability? Googling it isn’t giving good results.

It’s not giving good results because this is bullshit. Think about how every single thing that Apple does is scrutinized to the nth degree. They recently had a slate of bad press that amounted to “did a thief grab your passcode and then steal your phone? They can do bad things with it!” If what this poster claimed was anywhere close to true, how many “Apple outed closeted person when entire coffee shop can see he’s using Grindr” stories would there have been?

Please source any part of this comment. Who are they vending my info to? How do they make money on my info? How did I manage to miss what would have been a huge story (apple sharing app usage in the clear?)
