    Lol. You spend "hours" on a post and *still* get so much wrong!? You need

    Ignoring your incessant insults, if the only thing you can find wrong with
    the technical discussion is a typographical error, then you agree, Chris.

    It's impossible to have iOS contacts privacy due to stated privacy flaws.

    The worst part is that he has no good reason to hate those products.

    False.

    Can you give a real-world example?

    Hint: darn unlikely, at least where iOS users are at more risk than Android users.

    Hi Chris,

    I explained how iOS contacts work with respect to inherent privacy flaws.

    All you ever do when you attempt to refute facts, is you say all facts are wrong, but you never seem to show any indication you know how it works.

    It was clear to me, from what you wrote, you have no idea how it works.

    Hence, you just claiming everything is wrong without explaining how you
    think it works, is not something that anyone can possibly discuss with you.

    It's impossible to have iOS contacts privacy due to stated privacy flaws.

    False.

    I explained very clearly where iOS contacts privacy is impossible, Chris.
    For you to simply say 'false', means you actually agree with me, Chris.

    But I won't be hard on you as it's clear you have no idea how contacts
    work, so I think you're just saying "false" because you don't like that I
    shoed that it's impossible (as far as we know) to have iOS contacts
    privacy.

    Note, it's very clear, to me, which I explained in earlier threads and on
    the Android newsgroup, that iOS contacts are certainly "more private" than Android contacts, out of the box.

    But while you can easily make Android contacts private, it's impossible to
    make iOS contacts private (unless, of course, you jailbreak the device).

    They are private. You are simply wrong.

    You cannot have per-contact privacy. It is all-or-nothing.

    Note, it's very clear, to me, which I explained in earlier threads and on
    the Android newsgroup, that iOS contacts are certainly "more private" than Android contacts, out of the box.

    What is clear -- to you -- is not tied to reality.

    But while you can easily make Android contacts private, it's impossible to make iOS contacts private (unless, of course, you jailbreak the device).

    Or just use it as designed and they are private unless you give permissions
    (or some zero day exploit).
