You observation has nothing to do with what is being discussed, we have a right to inspect the network activity of our devices.

I remember you posting in threads criticizing Apple, almost always coming to their defense. You've been doing this for years.

This is a provably false claim based on the authors own experience.

Guess what? You also have no idea what your phone is sending the carrier or any other service provider.

But as far as you knowing who I am because of my posting history, “but for me it was Tuesday”

Ah, so now you play the fatalist backdoor card. Well, the good news is that we do know some of what your iPhone sends back home. We know that every time you launch an app, both Apple and Akamai receive data about what app you opened and when. We know that Apple has private API entitlements for circumventing your VPN rules. We know that Apple actively and directly works with the NSA and CCP to enable domestic surveillance capabilities.

So, you're right! Hacking your device only gives you a small window into the horrors of your software vendor. If we could totally decrypt all of Apple's traffic alongside the SIM's baseband transmissions, nobody would every say 'privacy' and 'iPhone' in the same sentence again.
