So you're using iPhone now but are anonymous to apple? You didn't register any accounts on your phone or in the AppStore with your email or credit card data?

Where is this coming from? I never said that.

I am under no illusion of that. Since google is an advertisement company I tend to trust the other company a bit more. Still the plague or cholera

Because if Apples knows your identity why would you switch phones to avoid giving apple your identity? I'm using Graphene so having to register some account on my phone would be a change for me. If you already have corporate account set on your phone what would this change for you?

I stand corrected. I don’t know where my head was at.

Apologies. What made me baulk was the “ID” part. Not giving them my equivalent to a social security number.
