Correct. But that’s not important. What’s important is many Android products are priced similarly to Apple. Look at Samsung phones.its?
Did I get grammar or spelling wrong? English is not my first language.

This. I mean when an app or OS phones home, (of any kind), who really knows exactly what is being sent?A typical "study" designed just to put out an attention-grabbing headline.
No analysis of what exactly is being collected.
No multi-device testing.
No even current-gen device testing.
Hell, how does it even qualify as a study with a sample of two(!!!) devices?!
Literally, the only conclusion from this nonsense is that a jailbroken iPhone 8 sends less data than a Google Pixel 2.
I'm not saying that Android collects less data than iOS, but the way they are trying to prove it is ridiculous.
Well...
Googles business plan is to collect data about it's users and use it for ads or just selling it.
Apples business plan is to collect as much money as possible from its users by overpricing it's products.
So while everyone enjoys all the FREE Google services and apps (Gmail, Chrome, Google Search, Drive, Photos, etc.), they also don't want any of their data collected. Money doesn't fall from trees, so either "free" becomes "paid" or stop complaining about data being collected about you. No one likes ads on TV, but without them, can you imagine how much TV would cost? Nothing is life is free...
Steve Jobs would’ve never approved that.Well...

So... Google collects 2X more data? That's comforting...
If Apple's products were 'overpriced' then no-one would buy them.Apples business plan is to collect as much money as possible from its users by overpricing it's products.
no, an order of magnitude would mean Google collects 200 times as much data as iOS. (20*10, not 20+10).When google say 'off by an order of magnitude', do they mean its actually 30x more data recorded... 🤔😏

For me, it's not about how much data my phone manufacturer collects on me, it's what it does with that data that matters.
You cant deny that ALOT of people thinks Apples products are overpriced?If Apple's products were 'overpriced' then no-one would buy them.
Apple's revenue figures rather suggest that their pricing is spot-on.
Hundreds of millions of people choose to take their cash and exchange it for Apple products.
Such is the joy of living in a free-market economy.

You think their data collection just goes into their Siri competitor?I don't mind that Google is using more data if it's orders of magnitude smarter than Siri. What's concerning, though, is Apple snooping on nearby WIFI mac addresses.
I agree that it’s free for a reason. If the product is free you have to think of why.So while everyone enjoys all the FREE Google services and apps (Gmail, Chrome, Google Search, Drive, Photos, etc.), they also don't want any of their data collected.

All that data collect can and does identify the user. A Mac address is unique to each device. With an iPhone we can more or less assume for most people 1 iphone = 1 person. It has a 1 to 1 relationship. Now being able to go outside of that and linking it up to other profiles is a little harder but can be done when you add in IP addresses and some other info you can start cross matching. It is fuzzy logic but can be done.But it doesn't collect the data that can identify the user.
It is from the research itself. We got some BS headline grabbing but dig into the research itself and it right there. Google send in more raw data but Apple is collecting more private data. You do not have to go very far. Table 1 shows some of the information that Apple is sending back vs Google. Read the research itself. There is a reason why I called the headline crap.Source or just your opinion based on nothing?
It’s collecting 20 times as much data either way. The reality is any data that’s collected by Google or Apple can be linked to you. You have to sign into a Google account or an Apple account to use that phone. They don’t need to verify who you are every time they collect data. If Google wasn’t doing this they would’ve actually released exactly what date are they collect and how they use it specifically instead of making some BS statement.All that data collect can and does identify the user.

In theory, yes. MAC addresses can be changed tho.A Mac address is unique to each device.
Which means nothing is truly free. We "pay" one way or another.I agree that it’s free for a reason. If the product is free you have to think of why.

The facts are Apple does not sell your data and they’re not in the business of selling your data to advertisers. Google is. I’m not saying either one is bad or good. If you have an android phone you’re sending all your data to google and it’s being used by Google for what they do.
