Although I don’t share the same sentiments as Arlen, I can respect the
desire to remain anonymous and protect his identity as much as possible.
Still I wonder if this is worth the effort considering the lengths he goes
to in order to work around all the roadblocks in his way. Then there is the
lingering notion that the cellular provider will always know who and where
you are once you use their towers for a phone call or any data related
activity. In my mind you are never truly anonymous once connected to the
internet.

You don't even have to make a call or use data. Just have service. I can
 locate the wife's iPhone using most any device's browser. For example I can
 do it with this Amazon Fire tablet's browser in an emergency like when
 she's late bringing home lunch...

  In that scenario, perhaps *you* don't use any (mobile) data, but *she*
does/did. Her location is not determined by cell/tower pinging, but by
her iPhone using the (mobile) Internet to supply her location.

  But as badgolferman mentioned, the mobile *provider* -  and hence law
enforcement, etc. - will/can know the location of any phone which is in
range and not in Airplane mode, even if the phone does not make/receive
a voice call.

The fact the carrier knows who you are doesn't mean you have to then log
into every mothership server on the planet because you feel you're doomed.

I happen to have an undergrad degree in microbiology; most people don't.
Hence, I know a LOT about keeping myself clean; which most people don't.
As a result, I know it's impossible to be sterile - but - it's eminently
possible to keep myself clean(er) & free(er) of disease bearing germs.

The fact is I know a *lot* about cleanliness so I can keep myself cleaner
than most people (since I'm aware of the pitfalls - which I then avoid).

In contrast, most people, since they're clueless, are fantastically filthy.
They have no idea of anything. They don't know a bacteria from a virus.
They are ignorant - and hence - they claim things which are dead wrong.

People who are ignorant of microbiology - should not be chastising those
who happen to know a lot more than they ever will know about microbiology.

Same thing here on privacy - which is the topic of this thread after all.
Change the story above to privacy and it's the same thing.

A. I know a lot about privacy; most people don't.
B. I keep my actions on the Internet private as I can; most people can't.
C. That doesn't make me wrong. 

It just means I am more private than they are.

For someone to talk about someone seeking privacy with disdain is no
different than that same clueless person talking about someone seeking to
keep his hands and body clean due to their own ignorance of the topic.

People who are ignorant of privacy - should not be chastising those who
happen to know a lot more about privacy than they ever will know about it.

Anyone who says they can be 100% private/anonymous on a phone is wrong.
But anyone who says you can't be more private/anonymous is also wrong.

The fact the carrier knows who you are doesn't mean you have to then log
into every mothership server on the planet because you feel you're doomed.

So you justify your knowledge of cleanliness with an undergrad degree in 
microbiology...

And anyone who says (redundantly) that you have to be logged into your 
AppleID (now officially "Apple Account") "24/7/365"...

...doesn't have a clue about the facts.

One thing I like about Google Maps is that you can download maps of a
region you plan to visit and use the app without any cellular connection.
Going to the ski resorts in West Virginia is a practice in being off the
grid.

  OsmAnd+ was my first and primary app. Used it a lot in rural/outback/
remote Australia, where there just isn't any Internet (other than
extremely expensive satellite Internet).

  Besides Google Maps and OsmAnd, there are several other offline
navigation apps, such as HERE WeGo and Sygic, some of them are also
available on 'totally useless' iPhones! :-)

  Other things (in addition to photos and navigation) to do with
Internet-less devices (iPhones and Andoid), in no particular order:

- play music
- play/record videos
- play games
- read ebooks
- listen to FM radio (Android only)
- listen to podcasts
- work on 'Office' documents
- personal health, activity, sleep recording/analysis
- camping/campsite apps
- etc..

There are many things an iOS or Android app can do without logging into a
mothership mainframe server on the Internet (which murders your privacy).

But this thread is about privacy and security and there's nothing less
private than logging into the Apple walled garden mothership 24/7/365.

   *Apple's walled garden _murdered_ privacy*

Apple tracks *everything* you do on the walled garden as a result, where
most Android users are likely clueless Apple inserts your Apple ID into
every app - even free apps! - you download - which even Google doesn't do.

Why does Apple insert your Apple ID into every (even free) app you install?
I don't know why.

I suspect it's part of Apple's plan to hinder re-use on another device.

Since Android & Apple users are involved in this conversation, the Apple
users are perhaps clueless that an Android free app can be installed on any
Android device in the world (assuming the hardware is compatible).

It's the same with EVERY operating system other than Apple's where only
Apple prevents that free app from being installed on any other device
unless - yes - you guessed it - unless it has the very same Apple ID.
-- 
There are minor exceptions for "family sharing" but it's all a restriction
inside the walled garden because Apple firmly controls every single app.

Except you don't have to be logged in 24/7/(and there's no need to

If it's free, why do you NEED to copy it from one app to another?

Yes, he must refer to theft. Because re-using an iOS device is
absolutely no problem at all - if the previous owner unregistered the
device and thus made it possible for the new owner to set it up for his
own account.

Arno's statement is so absurd - it shows he has zero iOS understanding.
Neither Arno nor the IQ 40 Alan Baker understands how APKs & IPAs work.

Even more absurd, for some reason, both think using free apps is "theft".
Which is a ridiculous thing for either Arno or the IQ 40 Alan Baker to say.

Using free apps is "theft" to Arno & to the IQ 40 Alan Baker.
Who is *that* stupid to think that using a free app is "theft"?

Only Arno. And the IQ 40 Alan Baker.
Nobody else would make such a patently preposterous claim.

HINT: Using free apps is not theft.

FACT about how Android free APKs work:
1. Download a free app APK from Google's App Store.
2. Try to use that free app on a device with a different Google ID.
3. It works.

FACT about how Android free APKs work:
1. Download a free app IPA from Apple's App Store.
2. Try to use that free app on a device with a different Apple ID.
3. You can't.
-- 
HINT: With Android, assuming the hardware is compatible, you can re-use a
free app APK on any Android phone on the planet. With iOS, you can only use
that free app IPA on a device with a single Apple ID (or family plan).

No? What about this - please explain:

How can it be, that I publish apps if I don't know, how that works?

Are there? You claimed all the time, that iOS is completely useless
without active internet connection.

As did Google and Microsoft.

So go ahead and create a fake account without personal information.

  Well, with some creativity it's still possible to create a Google
account without any real personal information. (Whether such an account
is all that useful for using on an Android smartphone/tablet is abother
matter.)

Why do you need a Google Account set up on a phone in the first place?
There's nothing a phone with that account can do that one w/o it can't.

Details here:

If anyone can come up with what functionality requires a Google Account set
up on the phone, then they should list that functionality in that thread.

Note: Almost every widely used Google app has an open-source equivalent.
For example, NewPipe===YouTube, Bromite===Chrome, Google Play===Aurora

Why do you need a Google Account, Frank?

FACT:
a. Apple's iOS requires an intimate connection to the mothership;
b. Google's Android does not!

That's a huge difference in terms of privacy since an Android phone works
just fine without putting a Google Account on that phone.

An iPhone can't even make phone calls without first connecting to the
mothership and even after that, if you don't put a mothership account on
that iPhone, you can't even install apps so it's even more brain dead.

An Android phone works just fine WITHOUT a mothership account on it.
An iPhone does not.

Big difference in privacy.

Oops. Arno said that, not Frank.

Anyway, almost nobody is intelligent enough to realize a Google Account is
not necessary on an Android phone for full functionality but an Apple
account is.

That's the major difference between the two platforms in terms of privacy.

1. iOS requires a mothership account for full functionality;
2. Android does not.

No, I didn't! I said, for some APPS(!) you need a Google account.

Except for downloading apps, you never need to use your Apple Account.
