Don't get me started on apple's "privacy is a right" marketing nonsense.

for all intents and purposes, it does not apply to your phone.

Can you firewall your phone? Can you figure out what is executing? Can you figure out what an app does or who it contacts?

Most people don't know that Apple knows your location at all times (since Location Services go through their servers) and the contents of all notifications (which go through their servers too). A few apps (like Signal) go out of their way to ensure notifications are private, but most don't.
