   Hi Chris & Tyrone,   
      
   Thank you for attacking the links, but not the claims because I described   
   how iOS works, and you've never provided a single counter link, which is a   
   clear indication that you have no counter claim. You just want nicer links.   
      
   Since both of you appear to be curious about learning more of what was   
   claimed, here are more of the facts with Apple documentation links that   
   describe the tokens involved in App Store and Apple ID authentication.   
      
   As always, if you have any point you feel is incorrect, please don't   
   hesitate to provide the links that back up any counterclaim you make.   
      
   1. Apple documents that App Store sign in is separate from iCloud   
      sign in. This is the structural point being made.   
         
      
   2. Apple documents StoreKit transaction tokens.   
      These are used for purchase validation.   
         
      
   3. Apple documents the signed transaction tokens used by the App   
      Store Server API. These are part of the App Store authentication   
      and purchase validation flow.   
         
      
   4. Apple documents the renewal info token used for subscription state.   
         
      
   5. Apple documents Apple ID authentication tokens in the Sign in with   
      Apple framework. These include ID tokens and authorization codes.   
        
      
   These links show that Apple uses multiple authentication tokens in   
   different parts of its system, and that App Store authentication is   
   separate from iCloud authentication. Consumer support pages do not list   
   token names or expiry times, but Apple developer documentation does   
   describe the tokens and their roles.   
      
   As always, if you have Apple documentation that shows the described   
   behavior is wrong, please include the link so it can be reviewed.   
   Otherwise, I will rely on the documentation already cited.   
   --   
   Apple iOS works differently than all other common consumer OS platforms.   
   If you claim to know iOS, and you don't know that... you don't know iOS.
