    the dictatorship known as the EU
    Considering half the US government is defending their "a president can do no wrong" leader at all costs and in spite of all logic and law, much like a king, you might not want to be casting this stone from the glass house in which you live.

    The EU is not needed and is not relevant in the big scheme of things.
    The EU is larger than the US. You might want to learn of what you speak before you post.

    Just for clarity, it sounds like the iOS app doesn't allow this type of data to be shared. True?
    Unclear. We're trying to find out.
    Apple doesn't allow this type of data to be accessed without user knowledge. Personal user data, contacts, locations, etc. are all sandboxed by Apple so even if a bad app like this leaks thru their review process, it still can't sneakily get the info that it could on an Android.

    See, that's just YOUR opinion, "man". Trademark and copyright both very, very strongly disagree with you.

    Not cool Sonos. 
    Sonos is dropping support for products released between 2006 and 2009.

    Apple no longer supports products released in 2014.

    Not cool Apple?
    Not exactly correct. I can (and have) install(ed) the latest macOS on my 2012 MacBook Air. True, they wouldn’t repair it if I took it into an Apple store, but they have not obsoleted the hardware if it’s still functioning.

  • iPhone 11 location services controversy quelled with new UWB setting in iOS 13.3.1 beta

    It sounds like Apple has a good point when it says the data never leaves the device. That means you are *not* being tracked. It's the same as the secure enclaves Apple uses to protect TouchID and FaceID. At my old job, even supposed "security experts" claimed in iOS development meetings that TouchID info could be exfiltrated from the device. My multiple attempts to explain the Secure Enclave to them fell on deaf ears as they either thought they knew better than anyone else or were biased against Apple. Same thing here; if the data doesn't leave the device it ain't a security flaw. This entire controversy is borne of technical ignorance (surprise surprise).
