   I wasn't saying Apple tracks us. I was disagreeing that Apple doesn't lie.   
      
   The only difference between nospam lying & Apple lying is when Apple gets   
   sued, they have enough money to settle lawsuits without admitting guilt.   
      
   As for tracking, I don't know why only Apple puts the id in the apps but   
   it's not because they're worried that free apps may not get their money.   
      
   There is a reason. And it's special to Apple alone. But I don't know why.   
   Why do you think only Apple adds your id number into every app you install?
