Right? Their “study” seems to have been reading the Google App Store and disclosures 😂
It’s also completely wrong about the apps on iOS which have system level controls for approx and precise location.
“The developer states…” honestly I barely trust apple anymore. I miss the days of human app reviews and a curated App Store. Gay Grandpa has sold us out, Jobs was an abusive narcissistic sociopath but I still miss him.
It doesn’t matter if you trust the developer or not, that’s the whole point of the system-level controls for these things.
And you think you have that? Uber got around Apple’s control and then bribed their way back in… Apple’s basically telling you they’ve abdicated responsibility at this point.
