Thankfully iOS is pretty complete without apps. I don't use apps, I don't find them more convenient than websites. I use my phone like a basic computer. I only really use more advanced things outside of news/calendar/maps on a home desktop PC.

I'm not particularly old-fashioned as I had a 12 year career in FAANG mostly working with sensitive PII and business data which is quite boring if you're not a criminal. But I understand that there is no real way to enforce the kind of privacy standards people seem to assume exist.

iOS devices come with apps pre-installed and this article is about how those apps do not conform to Apple's privacy policies.

Yes I read the article and the only new information for me was the opt-in dialog being used 4 times vs 2. I must not understand it because I've never seen it. The only one I can recall is the one they spam every time iOS updates, asking me to use Wallet several times until I navigate to the menu in settings.

What it doesn't mention is that ATTF is a voluntary program with no enforcement mechanism, currently.

Do you only use iMessage? No music player? No robot vacuum you need to control? Fitness tracker, car remote, Steam app for MFA, etc?

I don't use MFA, it is less secure than no MFA, so yes, no, no and no. I use VLC though but that doesn't use any tracking or data, afaik.
