@Linux oh yeah it crazily talks to their servers a lot. Like Microsoft you also can’t blanket block it if you want your system to work. That said I see more “filtered “ Microsoft ones in my AdGuard than Apple. Whether that’s better intertwining by them or just more things turned off for my phone I don’t know. But it is a valid question if it so privacy oriented…why so many calls home?

@Linux this is a small slice of traffic filtered to my phone before I woke up. Just as an example of what we are referring too. It is doing this over and over and over.

@ppb1701@ppb.social I ran my test after a reset and using the default stock settings, which is what most people tend to rely upon. That said, even disabling everything I thought I could disable, the iPhone kept calling out more than Windows 11. However, I admit I'm not an Apple user, and so perhaps someone who is, such as yourself, can better optimize an iPhone. But having said that, Apple's settings always seemed to be hidden behind other settings, and it was like trying to find an Easter Egg in a maze.
