    Because they pay apple? I’d imagine that’s obvious. It’s more useful metrics for the developer. I would be surprised if they didn’t tier the information access about users behind closed doors.

    Android’s not perfect, but at least permissions can be set per app, you can root your device, or install GrapheneOS or Lineage to bypass this crap entirely.

      I’d rather the ability to fudge these stats to developers, cause my info is none of their damn business when I’m paying for a service.

        That can be done on android and other operating systems. Apple is always the SOL option when it comes to dodging this crap.

      some permissions can be set per app. I’m not sure battery level is one of those and I have apps (i.e. homeassistant) which can read thatwithout me actually having explicitly allowed it. Usually it’s stuff one pictures/files, location, camera or health data that are restricted
