Unlike Android devices, which allow GPS spoofing, iOS knows exactly
where your iPhone is,

gps spoofing is not how the app store checks, making it entirely
irrelevant. in fact, that would be an incredibly stupid way to do it
for several reasons.

Even though Steve has a college degree and nospam couldn't earn one, it's interesting how _wrong_ Steve is, and how right (sometimes) nospam is.

I agree with nospam that the fact iOS is incapable of GPS spoofing
shouldn't have any bearing on Apple's ability to track your app
installation as Apple is the only smartphone maker who _requires_ a
mothership tracking account just to download the software for its devices.

also, google (and other entities) know exactly where android phones are
(and iphones for that matter).

Here I have to disagree with nospam's brazen assertion that Google knows
where the phone is, where nospam has shown many times he is almost
completely clueless about using an Android phone without Google services.

However... to nospam's main point... for most people who don't know enough
on how to use Android _without_ logging into Google servers, he's right
that both iPhones and Android phones are likely very easily tracked by
Google for those people who are dumb enough to log into mothership accounts
on their phones.

it helps to actually know about ios and android before commenting.

It's no longer shocking that nospam accuses everyone else of being as
ignorant about smartphones (particularly Android phones) as nospam is.

It's a fact nospam told us he doesn't even own a recent iOS device, and we
can tell from his many wrong assertions nospam is clueless about Android.

Hell, nospam doesn't even know Android is updated far longer than iOS is updated, and has been for a few years now, nor that iOS iPhones have more zero-day holes than any smartphone on the planet, he's that clueless.

so getting around such a limitation would be
tricky (yes, there are workarounds using a computer, or by jailbreaking,

that is false. it's actually relatively straightforward to get around
your hypothetical geographical limitation, which may not even happen.

It's no longer shocking that you always claim that the only way to get an iPhone to do even the most basic of the simplest things that every other
device does, is that you have to write the code yourself.

Suffice to say that mock location is built into the Android operating
system, yet it's essentially impossible to do practically on an iPhone.

If it was possible, nospam would say how (and no, telling everyone who
wants basic functionality on an iPhone that they have to write it, is not
an acceptable answer to nospam's brazen claims of imaginary functionality).

just because you don't know how doesn't mean it's 'tricky'. it simply
means you have no idea what you're talking about and simply trolling.

No. It's you trolling nospam.

Your claim that the only way to get basic functionality out of an iPhone is that you have to write the code yourself is the basis of all your remarks.

2. Many of the apps that are available only on Android are because iOS
doesn't have the capability for those apps to work (even though the
hardware is technically capable). A third-party app store isn't going to
solve that issue.

that is demonstrably false.

Again, nospam, it's no longer shocking how little you know about iOS.
You don't even have a modern iOS device, let alone an Android device.

I have both iPads and Android devices and I have tested hundreds upon
hundreds of apps on Android - most of which don't exist for iOS.

You denying all facts about iOS you hate is what you do, nospam.
But you denying all facts doesn't change the fact that they're facts.

It just means you _hate_ how crippled iOS is in terms of app functionality.

most of what you claim is impossible on ios on is is possible, and in
many cases, *part* *of* *ios* itself.

how is mock location spoofing _part_ of iOS itself, nospam?
How is graphical wireless debugging of all access points part of iOS?
How is automatic call recording part of iOS, nospam?

I used to wonder why you brazenly fabricate imaginary functionality for
iOS, but now I simply assess that you _hate_ how crippled iOS truly is.

further, there are *many* things can be done on ios that are impossible
on android (or at best, difficult and/or ineffective).

The true mark of your bullshit nospam is you can't name a single app functionality that is on iOS that isn't _already_ on Android.

it helps to actually know about ios and android before commenting.

It helps if you would back up even a _single_ claim of yours, nospam.

You're the only one who doesn't realize you fabricate imaginary iOS functionality, but the real question is why do you always do that?

I suspect you simply _hate_ how crippled iOS functionality truly is.

If iOS has _any_ of the functionality you fabricate, why can you _never_
point to even a _single_ app in the app store that provides it for us?

Here, I'll help you by pointing to the basic functionality on the GPS:
<https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mock%20gps%20location&c=apps>

Tell us, nospam, why these apps abound on Android and yet they don't exist
for iOS if you think Apple isn't preventing developers from providing the
iOS user base with this basic and rather useful basic functionality.

also, google (and other entities) know exactly where android phones are
(and iphones for that matter).

Here I have to disagree with nospam's brazen assertion that Google knows
where the phone is,

then you'd be wrong.

No. It's you who is wrong, nospam. You hate that Apple tracks the user's
every download while Google can't do it no matter how hard Google tries.

Of course, I'm assuming for that statement a well set up Android phone,
which most people don't have, so I agree with you Google tracks most
people's apps - but the fact is Apple tracks _all_ people's apps.

That's because only Apple requires a mothership tracking account to be
added to every single app you install onto the device from the app store.

Google can't.

It's a fact nospam told us he doesn't even own a recent iOS device,

no, it's not a fact.

This is how I know you own a substandard IQ nospam, because you deny facts
that no intelligent persion would deny, simply because the fact _is_ a
fact.

No normally intelligent person denies facts, nospam.
You do - but that's how I know your IQ is less than the average.

You deny facts that are easy to prove that they're facts.

it's yet another one of your lies.

And yet, I gave you ample opportunity to prove your denials, and now you
deny that you said what _anyone_ can click on the link to see you said it.

It's a clear indicator that you own a rather substandard IQ, nospam.
You deny facts that no normal person would even think of denying.

Simply because it's so easily proven that you are denying actual facts.

Hell, nospam doesn't even know Android is updated far longer than iOS is

demonstrably false.

Yet again, you deny facts that no normal person would deny, nospam.

I used to wonder if you actually _believed_ iOS is updated longer than is Android, but what it really is that you don't even know how iOS is updated,
let alone how Android is updated.

Given you're almost completely ignorant, you only know what Apple fed you.
You have no concept of the fact iOS dies far sooner than today's Android.

Your claim that the only way to get basic functionality out of an iPhone is >> that you have to write the code yourself is the basis of all your remarks.

i never said that.

Yes. You said that. Many times. You brazenly lie when nobody else would.

are you trying for a new record of lies in one post?

You can prove me wrong in a split second by pointing to the mock location
app on the iOS Apple App Store, nospam.

And yet, you can't.

I used to wonder why you incessantly brazenly fabricated imaginary functionality for iOS, but now I'm no longer shocked that you do it.

I think the reason is you _hate_ iOS lacks so much basic functionality.

Again, nospam, it's no longer shocking how little you know about iOS.

projection.

And yet it's _you_ who doesn't know how Android is updated, nospam.
You don't even know how iOS is updated, let alone Android.

It's no longer shocking how little you know about either iOS or Android:
a. Your IQ is substandard
b. Your education doesn't exist
c. And you gain almost all your self esteem from Apple loving you

You don't even have a modern iOS device, let alone an Android device.

false for both.

point to even a _single_ app in the app store that provides it for us?

whoosh.

No, it's you who has only seven responses to facts you hate about Apple.
One of those responses is to claim that you have to write all teh code

That is really the bigger news, if it's actually true,

apps that are only on android are almost always because the developers

That's complete bullshit, nospam.
*It shows your fantastic ignorance of what everyone else already knows.*

Many many may developers complain Apple drasstically restricts what apps
can do, which was shown in lawsuits and when Apple restricted recording.

Even the venerable Tor developers publicly complain Apple won't give them
the access to the kind of privacy that is on all other platforms (even
macOS).

But not on iOS.

Yet again, you're so wrong that either you're incredibly ignorant of what
Apple does to prevent apps on the App Store, or you simply hate the fact.

*But the fact you denied what nobody sane would deny, is your hallmark.*

the reverse, however, is not true. ios-only apps generally *can't* be implemented on android.

You've been asked for years to provide a _single_ app functionality in the
iOS App Store that isn't already on the Android app stores, and you can't.

The very fact you make this claim without ever being able to find a
_single_ app in the app store that backs up your claim, is what makes you
an iKook.

You don't have the knowledge or intelligence to back up your own claims.

As to how Apple would prevent those not in the EU from using third-party
app stores, it's not clear.

it is to anyone who has used an ios device.

What's clear to everyone sane, nospam, is the effort Apple goes to in order
to _prevent_ basic app functionality such as GPS spoofing on their store.

Here are just some of the Android apps:
<https://play.google.com/store/search?q=mock%20gps%20location&c=apps>

FACT:
*There are _zero_ of this app functionality on the Apple iOS app store.*

Only an iKook like you would dare to claim otherwise, which is how I know
that you iKooks are uneducated because you couldn't care less that your credibility is worthless.

Only a fool disputes facts (that's _why_ they are fools).
And you constantly dispute facts.

I'm no longer shocked how much imaginary functionality you fabricate.
The only question is why.

I suspect the answer simply is that you _hate_ iOS lacks the basic functionality that Steve (correctly) noted is on Android, such as the
ability to easily spoof the reported GPS location on the mobile device.

You can prove me wrong in a split second

i did, and just did it again.

And yet, you've _never_ backed up your claim that there are iOS aps on the

Not surprising that you resort to ad hominem attacks because your iOS app launcher is stuck in the stone age in that it can't do what _every_ other operating system has been doing for decades.

Yes. Only iOS can't arrange the app icons the way _you_ want them to be.

That fact alone show how laughably primitive the entire iOS ecosystem is.

all of this has been explained to you many times before and every time

No. It's you who can't back up even a _single_ claim you make on Usenet. Meanwhile, every factual claim I've made is backed up by facts themselves.

BTW, I'd be _happy_ if iOS was not so crippled such that my free Android
phone has far more app functionality than the most expensive iPhones made.

But the fact remains that iOS is so crippled it can't do even the simplest
of the most basic of useful app functionalities, such as, oh, automatic
call recording, graphical wi-fi debugging, graphical cellular debugging,
system wide firewall (all by itself), mock GPS location, etc.

Again, you could prove me wrong in an instant... if you were right.
And yet, you're not.

You can't find even a _single_ app functionality on iOS not already
(usually five years ago) on Android - and there's a reason for that.

It doesn't exist.
and there's a reason for that too.

It's what Steve said.
Apple is who cripples iOS... not the developers.

apple, google, microsoft and other app stores employ anti-piracy

as to your claim of 'tracking info', apple doesn't add any nor can
there be even if they wanted to. it's simply not how it works.

what's amusing is how much tracking *google* does, and you're clueless
about that too.

you think your android phone is 'clean' and can't be tracked, except
that based on what you've posted, you are oblivious as to how much

What I take pleasure in is proving you iKooks are shockingly ignorant of everything about Apple given how _desperate_ you are to deflect the tack.

*It's clear you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added to that IPA.*(

as to your claim of 'tracking info', apple doesn't add any nor can
there be even if they wanted to. it's simply not how it works.

*It's clear you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added to that IPA.*(

what's amusing is how much tracking *google* does, and you're clueless
about that too.

Your obvious _desperation_ to deflect to Google makes it all the more
obvious, nospam, how shockingly ignorant you are about what Apple inserted
into that IPA which ties that IPA uniquely to your iCloud/family account.

*It's clear you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added to that IPA.*(

you think your android phone is 'clean' and can't be tracked, except
that based on what you've posted, you are oblivious as to how much
you're actually leaking, which is collected by google, data brokers,
your cell carrier and others.

Again and again you are _desperate_ to deflect from the obvious fact that
you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added to the IPA files, nospam.

like i said at the start, you haven't a clue how anything works.

*It's clear you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added to that IPA.*

QED
I just easily proved you are shockingly ignorant of what Apple added.

yes you did, and now you're trying to backpedal.

Read what I wrote. I said I _agreed_ with you that isn't how it works.

the discussion is about third party app stores, and according to one
rumour, only implemented in the eu.

you went off on another one of your usual bullshit rants, without any understanding of how things work.

Read it again nospam and concentrate on adult comprehension skills.
Both of us _agreed_ that what Steve was suggesting wouldn't likely work.

app stores do not use gps, full stop. the idea is absurd.

I never disagreed with you. Go back and look.

I realize you won't.
You know why?

*Because all facts are fantastically meaningless to you iKooks.*

anyone who thinks that they do is incredibly stupid (or trolling).

*Your whole life, nospam, people have told you that you're stupid.*

I understand.
I really do.

However...

Again and again, because _you_ didn't understand the facts, you call me "incredibly stupid", but what you're doing is what iKooks always do.

You completely fabricated your entire belief system.
And now you're defending that imaginary belief system to the death.

It's what you iKooks do, nospam.
You're not normal people.

In fact, you're quite despicable.

Because _you_ own an imaginary belief system, you call everyone who happens
to own a belief system based on the facts, "incredibly stupid".

And yet... it's you who is proving time and again to be what you are.
An unprepossessing iKook.

if that were the case, apps could only be purchased while outdoors (and
not under trees or near tall buildings) or possibly indoors near a
window, and only after getting a gps fix, which in some cases can take
as much as 15 minutes (although it's usually less).

And yet, what I said was that you claimed that GPS mock location was on the iPhone when Steve (correctly) stated that the iPhone can't do something
that simple.

furthermore, many devices do not have a gps at all, including laptops
and desktops (app stores are available on those too), wifi ipads and
ipod touches and numerous android devices.

It's quite clear how _desperate_ you are to deflect from your brazen claim
that GPS mock location was not only on the App Store but that everyone who wanted basic iOS functionality should write the code themselves, nospam.

Despite your brazen incessant fabrications of imaginary iOS functionality, nospam, the fact remains Steve was 100% correct the basic mock location capability that abounds on Android does not exist on the Apple App Store.

yes it can.

it's also entirely irrelevant to the thread.

you're fixated on it because it's one way you obtain content to which
you are not entitled, and also a feeble attempt to hide your location,
except that it doesn't actually work the way you think it does.

Unlike you, I'm agnostic toward the big Google/Microsoft/Apple motherships. Unlike you, my self esteem isn't ineradicably enmeshed in their propaganda.
As a result, unlike you, I'm _not_ ignorant of missing basic functionality.

*The fact is iOS is utterly crippled in terms of basic app functionality.*

However, you brazenly claimed today that iOS does have basic functionality. Hence, I will give you ample opportunity to back up your claim... with...
*FACTS*

Yes.
*Facts*

To that end...

I just opened a thread where you iKooks will have ample opportunity to back
up your brazenly fabricated claims GPS spoofing apps exist in the Apple iOS
App Store (and, yes, you even claimed that it's part of native iOS OS too!).

*Is there a mock GPS location spoofer on the Apple iOS App Store or not?*

I don't disagree I am ignorant of many many many many things, nospam.

Unlike you, I'm extremely well educated so I'm well aware of the billions
upon billions upon billions of facts that I openly admit I don't know.

Take quantum mechanics, for example, where we all move at the speed of
light through four dimensional spacetime, which is just mind boggling.

You, on the other hand, are almost completely uneducated, nospam.
As a result, you think you know everything there is to know.

one example is how to properly cross-post, in addition to the lack of etiquette.

I agree with you that I cross post to the privacy & advocacy newsgroups,
mostly just to piss off the people who frequent those two newsgroups.

What's interesting and rather telling, is that I always post facts, and
facts alone piss them off because all you iKooks _hate_ facts about Apple.

In fact, the reason you're iKooks is the confluence of three traits:
a. None of you iKooks has an IQ that even approaches normal
b. As a result, none of you iKooks own an education to speak of
c. And, most importantly, your whole life people have been telling you
that you're stupid; but Apple loves you - and you love Apple in return.

The reason you defend Apple to the death, nospam, is that Apple does not
tell you that you're stupid - Apple tells you that you're smart for
enabling Apple's ungodly profit margins and for believing Apple's lies.

Me?
I tell you that you're stupid.

And you hate me for that - but I proved that you're stupid and therefore
all you "can" do is hate me; but every post from you proves your ignorance.

In this case, you're ignorant of the following:
a. You don't realize there are no GPS spoofing apps on the iOS app store
b. You are ignorant of _why_ those apps do not exist on the app store
c. You are ignorant of unique tracking is added to every IPA you install
etc.
