Title could probably use a “2013”
Android isn't a device though. Airtags are tracking devices. Android phones can be used for tracking, but that's because of phones, not because of Android.
I'd rather have Apple's hypocritical "only we may spy on our users" approach than Google's. But anyway, I use GrapheneOS.
I love that the presentation was called "..._Final.key". Even the best business people haven't solved that problem.
The convention on HN to put the year in the title for older articles, so this is missing 2013.
I mean, Android is extremely invasive and Google collects a ton of data on you. That's why you don't see Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Evan Spiegel and other prominent figures use Android devices.

This is so crazy to see. Usually when Apple faces the public, everything is super curated to sound pro-consumer, even if its anti-consumer.
Sure this PDF doesnt venture far from it, they still paint Apple in the prettiest picture, but the terminology shows that Apple is basically doing the same thing as google but with slightly different methods to blur it. Heck, we don't actually know what is going on inside an iPhone, they could be combining accounts and sending data to Cambridge Analytica for all we know. At least with a degoogled Android, you know exactly where everything is going.
This is the classic gaslighting that I've come to expect.
All smartphones are. There's only so much you can do to cover your track. There's most likely always someone knowing where you are if your phone is powered on (or even powered off with Apple Find My network).
