I don’t agree with this. While they have stated its against their stores policies to use permanent identifiers instead of your IDFA, I haven’t seen any stories of them actually enforcing said restriction. I’ve seen a lot of /them/ saying that they will and do, but I’ve never seen a story of a company saying they were disabled for it.
On top of that, they didn’t forbid companies from using workarounds like a unique device fingerprint using your current device configuration for it either, so many apps just did that instead, which brought everyone back to square one again, they just switched to using a third party to identify the device instead of using apple’s first party solution.
They just said they wish they could have an iPhone, and that it was jailbroken. Implying a power user who knows what they want (an iPhone) and how to use it. And this response wouldn’t have been appropriate for almost any context, but in this one it’s particularly nonsensical.
Most settings on iphone only turn off the capability for you, not apple. Wifi is a good example. There is litereally no way to turn the radio off, and the settting merely prevents your use of Wifi while Apple still continues to use it in the background (for Find My mesh and location traction among others).
Damn, did someone shit in your lightning connector?
Google also doesn’t sell your data, they just sell ad space. Just like Apple. The only thing different is that you believe Apple’s marketing.
The only one here with a superiority complex is you.
And for your information, I use a custom ROM with everything of Google stripped out and every ad blocked on the kernel level. Try that with your ad-infested data-harvesting iphone.
Really? What happens if you turn off wifi or bluetooth? Last I checked, they will turn back on after some time. (But haven’t had an iphone in some time now)

this isn’t an android. When you turn something off on an iPhone, it turns off.

I’m sorry to hear of your troubles. Best wishes.

The problem is it’s what Apple offers or the highway.
…I really, really miss my jailbroken iPhone. Honestly I would trade for a (working) iPhone 6 without even blinking.
watson@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
I’m sorry to hear that an iPhone was somehow too difficult for you to use.
Best wishes ❤️

Thanks. I appreciate the condescending comment.

I don’t know who told you this insane bullshit, but not a word of it is true.
I’m sorry to hear about your imagined misery

It literally says you will see an equal amount of ads, just not personalized.
watson@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
Yeah, and the obvious benefit is that they aren’t harvesting my personal data to fuck me in the ass with ads.
You have chosen the fuck me in the ass with ads option.
And you hallucinate that that somehow makes you better than me? Or that it’s the better choice?
I am not beholden to your hallucinations. I can actually make better choices for myself. I urge you to do the same.

Lol yes because the trillion dollar corporation known as apple got there by being honest 🤣

Do you have any evidence that can prove me wrong, you would have provided it already.
“MONEY=BAD” is a hilarious argument when you are arguing in favor of Google

Hmm I didn’t consider that I needed to list [every corporate action for the past 200 years]. Good point though. Next time.

How would you know? Do you have an iPhone? Are you just a lying poser?
Once again, I’m sorry that an iPhone has proven too difficult for you to use. You have my regards.
