    Factory reset doesn’t delete persistent app data enabled by app developer [paraphrased]

    What about Erase All Content and Settings? You seriously can’t fully erase a second-hand phone you bought?! That’s insane

      I can’t see what was posted above anymore, but the DeviceCheck API lets app developers store 2 binary digits (that means 4 different states: 00, 01, 10 or 11) per device on Apple’s servers. So, no, these don’t get erased during a Factory Reset as they’re stored on Apple’s servers. But your phone will.

      What good will they do when all Android manufacturers are trying to copy iPhone? No headphone jack, no expandable memory, no removable battery.

      I’d rather buy an iPhone instead of a shitty clone that won’t receive updates after 3 years.

        It never ceases to amaze me how iPhone users think a bump in a version years down the road, keeps them secure while the browser in iOS needs whole god damn system update to upgrade.

        You wait for that patch for a Safari vulnerability for whenever Apple feels like it but Android devs can push patch and deploy within days or hours. And also sideload it, if a really important fix would take a long time through regular channels. And also there’s more than 1 browser engine on Android, so all users aren’t vulnerable to the same exploit at the same time.

        But hey, keep on swallowing that Apple marketing wholesale though.
