This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities,. If you'd like to view their content together, click.This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc. Yeah, I get all that, I was referring to your statement of 'shutting off all the privacy violating tracking that the core OS does every few minutes.'
I thought you were referring stuff like iBeacon, iAd, location services, etc, for all of the system functions (Privacy - Location Services - System Services).They have/are removing the Facebook/Twitter integration in iOS 11, which is nice, although they are pretty useless without being logged in.Your reasons are why I run as few apps as possible, and use mobile safari for 95% of what I do on my phone. The core OS stuff doesn't bother me as much because Apple has such a strong stance on privacy, encryption, and security, and I personally use all of their different services and devices, so I need that communication anyways.What turns me off to Google is how you are the product with them, which is why I refuse to use their products anymore. So I don't have to worry about anything there.Apple does things differently where the frequent locations, people face suggestions, et. Al are all calculated on the device silicon itself, not in the cloud.
They are expanding some of this in iOS 11 (such as face recognition, Messages, and Health data) to sync across devices in the cloud.I believe iOS sends your device config when you open settings because it has to refresh current info from their servers such as iCloud, Apple Pay, iTunes, etc.Addendum, from the sound of it you probably already knew all of this, just throwing it out there for others. Also yes, my battery life is freaking amazing because I run so little apps, and Safari (with a content blocker) is efficient as hell. My friend runs all the social media apps on their iPhone and their battery is usually struggling by the end of the day, it does all make a difference. There is SO much crap going on your iphone. Many apps phone home without even having to be running. And apple will never do anything about it because they support advertising.I can give you a few examples:deep linking: you browse a URL associated with an app in safari, and the app gets activated to talk to the mother ship. App doesn't have to be running.update an app in the app store: most apps contact the mother ship even if they're not running.ibeacons: if an app is not running but has location services turned on, your location (up to every 1/10th of a second) is transmitted to the mother ship when you come in range of an bluetooth ibeacon.
If you have a store app installed, not running, and enter their store? They track you.notifications: can activate an appsafari: some apps can circumvent 'cellular data off', and use safari. For instance, I had 'cellular data' turned off for the kindle app, but 'cellular data' was on for safari. The kindle app talked to amazon using safari. (wifi assist is OFF). The OS-level monitoring is really behind windows and linux.macOS has a bunch of industry standard / state of the art monitoring tools built-in or easily installable plus the mostly unparalleled feature set of dtrace.
As far as GUI monitoring tools goes I don't recall Windows or popular desktop Linux distros offering anything too different than what macOS has out of the box. There's a really narrow use case for GUI monitor or mgmt tools because in most cases the knowledge you need to make any sense of them is basically the same knowledge you need to use more advanced/flexible/scalable tools. LittleSnitch is a nice app for that narrow use case but I've personally never found any use for it that wasn't ultimately easier/better suited for other tools. They've already got the Mac App Store, in which they're alternatively accused of being too strict and too lenient. They could just start putting real limits on what network connections an app can make, and actually enforcing them.Why does my favorite drawing program request permissions to run a network server? And why the hell did Apple approve that?Why is it so hard just to see what entitlements a Mac app has? You can do 90% of this statically, with the infrastructure that's already in place.
