The iPhone is a dumb terminal - devoid of functionality if you don't log
into the Apple mainframe servers 24/7/365 just for basic functionality.

The funny thing is Apple users are clueless that they are logging into
Apple's mainframe servers 24/7/365 for all those "walled garden" goodies.

Ant... could you do all of us a small favor before you respond please?

1. First, log out of iMessages, the App Store, FaceTime, iCloud, etc.
2. Then try to access all those "walled-garden" goodies you love.

Tell us all how well that works out for you please.
Thanks!

I got an iPhone SE from my employer and can't reproduce this.

Even without internet and without connection to Apple it still works. I
can take pictures with it, listen to music which is stored on the device
and even call people if I only have GSM without internet.

So what exactly do you mean?

Arno,

Do you know that I've been using iOS & Android for many years?
Do you know that I *test* what they can and cannot do without accounts?

If not, then you need to TRY it yourself.
Let's take the simplest case possible, Arno.

a. Buy a new iOS device
b. Do NOT create a mothership account on it (i.e., Apple)
c. Tell us all what that device can do and cannot do

Then let's repeat that simplest case, Arno, for all other OSs.
a. Buy a new Windows or Android device
b. Do NOT create a mothership account on it (i.e., MS or Google)
c. Tell us all what that device can do and cannot do

Do you see a difference?
Is it astoundingly huge?

Why?

HINT: The iOS device can't do *anything* without that mothership account.
Which is why iOS owners are logged into Apple servers 24/7/365 forever.

Yes. Even you.

I have an iPad.

I've just logged out of my Apple Account (formerly called "AppleID").

It seems to be working fine.

So what? I talk about using the device when not having an active
connection to Apple servers and not about using it without setting up an
Apple account at all.

JFTR: I got from my employer was already configured and I do *not* have
an Apple account and I can *not* use stuff like the Apple App store. So
Apple seems to provide options for companies to give their employees
devices but without the need for an Apple account on the device itself.

Which is not possible in Windows 11 nowadays without any "hacks". The
default is, that Windows won't install without a "mothership account".

For Windows 11: no.

Because Apple wants it this way. If you don't like that, don't use the
devices - problem solved.

It depends what you define as "logged into Apple servers".

> Yes. Even you.

No, not me personally - see above, I don't have a personal Apple account
on the device which I got from my employer and can't even install apps
there.

With that idiotic statement, you're completely misunderstanding the point. 

I have plenty of Apple devices. Jesus. It's not about liking it or not.
I have them because I test them. They are what they are. I understand them.

And what they are, is clearly they're designed to be very dumb terminals.
Devoid of any useful functionality without logging into Apple servers.

You can't deny nearly 100% of iOS owners are always logged into Apple
servers, nor that most of the walled garden is inside those Apple servers.

Which means Apple tracks *everything* you do on those devices.
Think about that.

It's reality.
Not marketing bullshit.

Please don't be like Apple trolls like Alan Baker who have an IQ of 40.
They *love* Apple devices (which is fine); but they know nothing about them

The fact I know about Apple devices doesn't mean I have to like them.
Or not like them.

That's immaterial.

What matters is that what I say about them almost nobody knows.
Because nobody thinks about how the Apple ecosystem is designed.

An iPhone is designed to be a dumb terminal which suits Apple's profits.
That's just a fact.

If you're ignorant of the fact that people are constantly logged into
Apple's mainframe tracking servers, then you need to learn that fact.

This is a technical group, is it not?
There is no "problem" to solve other than to UNDERSTAND what Apple does.

The "problem" is only one out of a million people UNDERSTANDs Apple.
Because most people are incredibly ignorant about what Apple does.

You keep misunderstanding that it's not about whether I care or not.
It's not about whether I can solve all of Apple's problems or not either.

     _It's about *U-N-D-E-R-S-T-A-N-D-I-N-G* what Apple is._

Most people don't understand what Apple is because they only know what
Apple advertises - but they don't actually UNDERSTAND what Apple does.

Apple designs the iPhone as a dumb terminal which requires 24/7/365
constant access to Apple's mainframe servers to do stuff people do.

Even if most people do not understand that rather astute observation,
nobody can deny that almost every one of the billions of Apple iPhone
owners is constantly logged into the Apple servers 24/7/365.

Why is that a fact?

Think about the answer to that sagacious question before you respond.

No, not all of the groups where you crosspost, are a "technical group".

What Apple does should be well known. They've been doing this now for
more than 15 years. So why did you bring this up at all if you don't
have a problem with it?

> The "problem" is only one out of a million people UNDERSTANDs Apple.

People are ignorant about EVERYTHING and not just Apple. Nearly ALL
companies do this. Google Play Services are a requirement(!) for many
apps. Microsoft 365 also requires(!) an online account.

Same as with Microsoft, Google and WhatsApp and a dozen other services.

That's how business works today. Welcome to the present, welcome to

Agree - but there are many people on the Apple newsgroups who are clueless.
All they know is the propaganda Apple feeds them to believe.

Agree. For example, Apple's strategy of not providing external memory

I didn't bring it up. You did. I politely responded to what you brought up.

Agree. For example, some people think gravity is a force. They're stupid. 
 <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=why+is+gravity+not+a+force&ia=web>

> Nearly ALL companies do this. 

Agree; luckily for Android, Google doesn't require an account on the device
for the device to work perfectly fine. Everyone knows this to be a fact.

> Google Play Services are a requirement(!) for many apps. 

Agree that <com.google.android.gms> is a requirement for many Android apps;
but that's not the same thing as the device requiring a mothership account.

Only Apple devices require a mothership account just to activate them.

From your comments, I'm slowly realizing you don't appear to understand
there is a difference between an operating system versus apps on it.

> Microsoft 365 also requires(!) an online account.

One of us doesn't understand what "Microsoft 365" is if you say that.
 <https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=what+is+microsoft+365>

I'm slowly realizing you don't know the difference between an operating
system versus a suite of software that runs on that operating system.

Again, the reason you don't appear to understand how operating systems work
is your statements show you've never been taught that there is a difference
between what an operating system is, versus what an app running on it is.

Please look up what an "operating system" is before responding. Thanks!
 <https://duckduckgo.com/&q=what+is+the+difference+between+an+os+vs+an+app+that+runs+on+that+os>

Please respond only when you figure out that an operating system isn't the
same thing as the apps that run on that operating system.

This is key to understanding that only the Apple iOS operating system
requires you to be on the Internet to activate just to boot to it.

Nobody else.
Just Apple.

It depends on how you define "work perfectly fine". Many apps and
services do *not* work without a Google account on the device since they
*require* Google Play Services.

>> Google Play Services are a requirement(!) for many apps. 
> 
> Agree that <com.google.android.gms> is a requirement for many Android apps;

Which makes not a big difference. And com.google.android.gms is not the
only requirement, there are lot more services which apps need, depending
on what the app does. And good luck getting Google Wallet or banking
apps running without a Google Account.

> Only Apple devices require a mothership account just to activate them.

So what?

> From your comments, I'm slowly realizing you don't appear to understand
> there is a difference between an operating system versus apps on it.

And from your comments I believe you don't understand that this makes no
difference. When users need an account and online services to be able to
use something, then it does not matter, if that requirement comes from
the OS or the apps or both - in the end you still need the online
account and services.

Most users *will* need a Google account for their Android smartphones
since they *need* certain apps - e.g. banking apps which will not work
without Google Play services. So it does not matter, if the device
itself may work without an account - in the end you still need it. Yes,
with microG you may provide this without the need of an "official"
Android but with using e/OS/ or similar - but you still need to create
and use a Google account for certain apps.

I work in a company where Microsoft 365 and Azure Cloud Clients and
Azure Desktop get implemented for thousands of employees. What is your
professional experience with that?

How can you send and receive group facetime messages to and from other
Apple users without logging into Apple's messaging servers on the Internet?

How can ANY smartphone do something that is INHERENTLY between different 
devices without network access.

That's not the same as claiming it's a "dumb terminal" without network 
access.

Looking at my home screen:

I can have on-phone contacts.

On-phone notes

On-phone reminders

The camera still takes pictures, and I can still view and edit them in 
Photos.

My calculator still calculates.

The clock still tells time.

My on-phone music still plays.

And there are loads more apps and functionality that--

while requiring internet access

--in no way depend on being logged into ANYTHING Apple.

Why would I want those when I don't want to be bothered?

You're the one who lied about iOS not always needing internet access to use
the features locked inside Apple's walled garden (such as to install apps).

Your iOS device does almost nothing without logging into Apple's servers.

It's up to you, not me, to explain why you lied that you don't need to log
into Apple's servers to use the walled garden (such as to install apps).

The claim was:

"constant 24/7/365 Internet access"

You're always logged in. 24 hours a day. 7 days a week. 365 days a year.
That's "constant Internet access".
