Reply to LG C2 OLED TV review: you can’t go wrong by dapperlemon
I got the LG C2 OLED the other day to go with the PS5....upgrade from my few year old Samsung TV...and lemme tell ya WOW! I didn't know PS5 games looked this damn good! Freggin LG blew my mind.....
I thought the PS5 was having HDR issues becuase the games was too dark at times and other times the HDR looked like trash....This LG took care of all the problems I was complaining about...quick. Now that my eyes have been opened...these PS5 games are Absolutely Gorgeous! Somebody finally did something right for a change....
I highly recommend anyone looking to upgrade to a new TV for the PS5 to grab tha LG C2 OLED!! Its Legit!

It doesn't matter though, literally every phone is limited in a matter that makes whatever fastest speed irrelevant. Its like going from dialup to 1gig fiber. The leap is so much you don't even notice things being slow anyways, so if offered 2gig you wouldn't even consider it.

The way I see it they're already going to get my data through their services, and they have a massive interest in keeping that data secure in order to keep trust in their brand and keep the data flowing. I oddly enough trust Google about as much as I can trust any of the big platform companies with my data. They risk a lot more than most by treating it haphazardly.

Yes, but there shouldn't be an identifier in analytics if you're logged in either. They should be anonymous.

No, the identifier is only return when you are logged into icloud and have credentials.
When uoure not logg in and requesting the data it does not return the identifiers.

My trust for Google to handle my data in my home is at the lower end of the big tech spectrum.

I am a hearing aid wearer and I have tried this but it seems to keep crashing my phone in iOS 16.

They claimed it's from "analytics data" But what they actually did is just look at the request body of API calls (probably using something like WireShark)
That's completely different things

You didn't answer my question..
Did they not tweet an image of some Analytics data, which contains the dsId?

To simplify what's going on:
Apple: Did you buy this game? User: Yes here is my user id Apple: Oh I can confirm that there is a transaction record for this game with your user id
???: Apple lied. Apple invaded user privacy.

I don't know the true purpose of these request body and the API calls.
No one does except who actually implemented these API calls and who handles the data inside Apple.
Just simply having some kind of user ID in API calls doesn't say anything. If you are using any service that has user account, this happens all the time. Your posts, comments, profile picture on Reddit is associated with some kind of user id. Without user id, how can Reddit remembers your posts, comments?
It's same for App Store. The apps you bought, you subscribed etc is associated with user id.
Having user id in the API calls doesn't mean a service is tracking and analyzing your behavior. That is totally different story that this article and the tweets from two dudes has not proved anything

So what your saying is the second screenshot from their Tweets is an API return also, and not analytics then?

You (and the two dudes who claimed this) are assuming that DSID is found in the analytics data, which is not true.
The DSID is found in the request body of API calls while two dudes browsing App Store.
But the purpose of those API calls are unknown. And only someone who works at Apple handles these data knows the purpose. It is unknown whether that API calls were for the purpose of tracking user behavior or just simply checking whether the user bought the apps on the current page or the device can run certain apps etc.
To verify whether Apple actually collects data for user analytics, someone needs to investigate their backend services and databases. Not some API calls.
That's why this article and the "analysis" by two dudes are simply clickbaits.

The API calls are irrelevant to the purpose of the analytics??
The point is the analytics contains an identifier, which is linked to the iCloud account as proved by the API call

It is good to know that Apple takes this very seriously. It seems like Apple would also develop their own app to scan your device for any vulnerabilities.

Do you know what API call is? How do you know those API calls with DSID are the purpose of analytics unless you work at Apple and knows how the data is used?

Did you even read the thread?
The analytics contains an identifier. That same identifier is returned from an iCloud API call to retrieve an account.
Meaning the analytics data is tied to accounts
