I expected a response like that from Facebook smh.
But this is a power move by Apple. Something Android (Google) could never do!
Yep.Good.
Why would they have to? Google is printing money Apple is fighting to maintain their presence in the market.This really sets iOS apart from Android.
No way Android could/would do something like this.

Apple isn't "fighting" anything, they're leading the industry in terms of profitability.

Google can't/won't do this because Google relies on advertising, thus this would hurt their business.
True. The story isn’t a Google vs Apple thing in terms of who innovated an idea. If anything it’s Apple vs Facebook.I agree, but disagree only in the sense that Apple isn't in "direct" competition with Google. Apple is in a class all by itself as it makes it own OS and phone. Google JUST got into making phones, Apple pockets so much more money compared to Google.

here is how android 10 does the same thing that apple is just now doing. android has already been doing this for over a year.
as usual apple is actually playing catch up.
Android 10 rewind: Throwback look at privacy features pre-Android 11
Android 10 lets you fine-tune the data apps access, restrict location services based on usage, contain background app activity, and much more.www.androidauthority.com
1. Ability to turn off ad targeting — Many apps track users to target ads at them. Android devices have a dynamic Advertising ID which helps app developers target ads at you. With Android 10, users can opt out of ad personalization. This instructs developers not to use your Advertising ID to build profiles or show you personalised ads.
2. Restrictions on hardware identifiers — Android 10 will restrict apps from knowing the IMEI or Serial number of your device. These are device identifiers and can be misused for illegal activities like IMEI spoofing. Instead, app developers will now have to use other resettable device identifiers, unless otherwise approved by Google, your carrier, or your organisation (in case of enterprise devices). Additionally, devices that run Android 10 transmit a randomized MAC addresses (a unique number that identifies your device) by default. These changes help keep your digital identity safe.
3. Background activity restrictions — With Android 10, apps can no longer launch activities in the background without user interaction. This is intended to minimize screen interruptions for users and give them more control over what happens on their device. Apps will now need to seek permission from users to launch background activities by sending them a notification. In some cases, for instance an alarm app, the app will be able to alert users of the alarm, but will not be able to use the whole phone screen to do so.

power users know how to do it. it is not up front for the average user.
Not really, you will still get ads but now they won’t be relevant to youGood.
As usual..Apple shows up late but it's the innovator.here is how android 10 does the same thing that apple is just now doing. android has already been doing this for over a year.

Innovation is making something useful, not just rushing to be first.As usual..Apple shows up late but it's the innovator.
