do I detect some Apple employees/shareholders in here? I think the (CIQ)video made pretty clear the fact that YOU CANT TURN IT OFF and that THERE IS NO OPT IN/OUT button because you would have to be digging around like a technophile to find it in the first place. I would not be at all surprised if Apple uses something like this. Wireshark anyone?

The CIQ video was of the Android software. Initial analysis of the iOS version of the CIQ software indicates it isn't nearly as intrusive as the Android version.

And from all indications (the researcher vs. what Apple states) is that you can explicitly turn it off.

Do you have a link to the video of CIQ on an Apple product where it cannot be disabled or opted out of? Or are you citing a video covering an Android phone and incorrectly drawing conclusions about an Apple product?

You're anyone, why don't you do it?
