Nobody but you denies what even Apple doesn't deny. 

Why do you do that?

 "There is one crucial difference between the way in which
  Apple and Google devices carry out this task
  and that's exactly where the privacy issue arises."

 [https://www.macworld.com/article/2343297/apple-wi-fi-network-wps-vulnerability-location-services-leak.html]
  "Researchers have discovered a crucial vulnerability in the way 
   only Apple's location services work"

 [https://www.govinfosecurity.com/surveillance-risk-apples-wifi-based-positioning-system-a-25330]
 "The attack risk stems from Apple's WiFi-based Positioning System, or WPS"

 [https://9to5mac.com/2024/05/24/apple-location-services-vulnerability/]
 "We need to understand Apple devices figure out locations differently"

 [https://securityboulevard.com/2024/05/apple-wi-fi-location-privacy-richixbw/]
 "An unrestricted Apple API endpoint allows for easy tracking."

 [https://cybernews.com/privacy/apple-beams-wifi-location-data-privacy-risk/]
 "Anyone can exploit Apple's flawed WiFi-based positioning system (WPS)*

 [https://arxiv.org/abs/2405.14975]
  "In this work, we show that Apple's flawed WPS can too easily be abused"

Why do you deny what nobody but you denies (not even Apple denies it)?
