> Google handsets collected “a notably larger volume of handset data than Apple” with 1MB of data being sent from idle Google Pixel handsets every 12 hours, compared with 52KB sent from the iPhone.
That’s 20x less than Google collects. If I knew it was all encrypted on device with keys only I own, I’d be much happier, but 20x less is better than nothing.
Agreed, but this article seemed to primarily focus on how much data is sent while the phone is idle, so I'm addressing the article.
> Maybe Apple are just shipping deltas instead of the full load.
I highly doubt that Apple figured out all it needs is the delta, while Google are morons who don't know that's all they need. Granted "KB of data is a poor indicator of the extent of privacy violation", but it isn't a useless one.
Shouldn’t the link be changed from Irishtimes to the pdf?
I'm never buying this crap again.
