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

Lol no apple pays google to disappear this info and make it very hard to find.
It also happened like 4-5 years ago, and was not covered by any major news org, so it would be hard to find anyway.
It was for macos not IOS and everyone found out about this feature when apple server went down and nobody could start apps for a bit.
Im having a hard time finding any info about it either, but I’ll keep looking.
EDIT: I believe the feature was called “gatekeeper”
EDIT2: it think this is it: https://www.reddit.com/r/netsec/comments/gp52pe/apple_is_tracking_hashes_of_all_executables/
