And yet, the fact you _must_ tie every single one of your iOS app store apps
to an Apple account _does_ have a tremendous impact on what can be done.

How are they going to track users if we set our system wide on-the-phone
firewall (*which is privacy functionality _impossible_ on iOS*) to block it?

What I find hilarious is how fantastically clueless this idiot Apple
apologist nospam is of how easy it is for Android to block those analytics.

Those are screenshots from my own phone testing that firebase can easily be
blocked if the user simply sets up his phone to block all app indexing.

The fact such privacy functionality is _impossible_ on iOS, is what nospam
seems to hate the most, as he's always claiming imaginary functionality for
iOS that never exists when you ask him to prove it with a single fact.

Steve might want to add to his extensive document of the huge differences in
privacy between iOS & Android that an Apple user has none of this available.
