My friend is a manager at a Verizon Corporate Store in the last week they have seen a 5% increase of people trading in their iPhones for Androids because of this misinformation. That’s in the DC metro stores combined. His best friend says T Mobile has seen a 3 percent increase. That’s a lot if accurate and makes me wonder who is really behind the misinformation push.

The only one behind all of this is Apple who released a new way to share personal information without really informing users and making the default position to also be on. Many consider that to be a privacy issue and question Apple’s privacy philosophy going forward.
Did they not learn from CSAM as they surly didn’t use focus groups to gauge possible reaction just as they didn’t in the CSAM debacle.
At the end of the day it is Apple that owns this. Apple also comes across as arrogant in how it treats its user base. Parents are crazy concerned about the safety of their children and saying a popup prevents misuse doesn’t quell concerns and brings into question the corporate culture and trust at Apple.
Average weight in the US is like 180. That is literally 11-12 people. Is it so hard to believe?
