   What's interesting is you MAGA trolls (make apple great again) are proving   
   my point for me by agreeing that you can't get around the phone number   
   requirement easily (although there are even worse 2FA methods available).   
      
   You trolls agree that iOS is the only operating system where you can't have   
   privacy since you have to give it a real phone number that it will   
   constantly ask you for the rest of your life to have in your possession any   
   time it wants to verify the mandatory 2FA (& there are worse 2FA methods).   
      
   No other operating system makes it impossible to have privacy but iOS.   
   a. You must give it a phone number that you will have on you   
   b. And, in order for it to work well, you have to log into their matrix   
      
   Only Apple's operating systems are designed for privacy to be impossible.
