There is no issue. This person is a known Apple Troll whose only goal in life is to "make Apple look bad". In today's episode, he is convinced that the SSID on a router can track you. So if you sell your old router AND the person who bought it does not change the SSID, he thinks that proves that you have moved and now live at the current address where the router is. Of COURSE, the person who bought it is going to change the SSID. Or may even keep the factory default because OF COURSE you are going to reset the router to factory defaults when you sell it. AND what if you setup your NEW router with the same SSID that you had on the old one? What happens now? Do I now live in 2 places at once? Either way, there is No Problem. And what if I change the SSID of my router weekly? Have 4 different people come thru my address each month? This whole thing is beyond absurd AND is typical of the BS this troll posts. Apple did not change ANYTHING "at his request". Apple only removed his SSID from their DB to get him to STFU and go away. He will reply with more gibberish and hand waving, claiming I don't understand "the issue". That is his standard M.O. The last time I replied to a topic this moron started, he was asking "What music playing apps do you use on iOS/iPadOS that are (1) free and (2) continue to play when the screen shuts off". He did not even know that the included music playing app on iOS/iPadOS does both AND he did not even know what it was called. Not to mention that click-wheel iPods from 2005 were doing this also. In short, he knows NOTHING about Apple, iOS, iPhones or anything else even vaguely related to Apple. Look at his previous "PSA" on how to transfer files from Windows to an iPad. He jumps thru multiple hoops by installing software on both the Windows PC and the iPad. He does not know that the INCLUDED Files App on iOS/iPadOS can connect to Windows PCs. And Macs and Linux. And can transfer files in both directions. Again, all in his goal of making Apple "look bad". But he so fucking stupid that he does not realize that it is only himself who looks bad.
