Doesn't Apple advertise privacy?
Where is it?
Is there a way to SKIP that privacy-robbing collection of your phone?
Betcha the Apple trolls don't know that secret.

It turns out that it's not possible to create a new iCloud account without calling Apple personally and giving them your phone number to verify.
Not if there is already an iCloud account set up with your Android phone. It's impossible to do it from your iPad device. You must talk to Apple.
And then you must identify yourself to Apple's satisfaction.
Just to set up an iCloud account on the iPad.
Which proves there is no privacy with Apple products. None.
No other operating system vendor has that privacy robbing requirement.
Not Google. Not Microsoft. Nobody.
Just Apple.
All to make their walled-garden work.
That is, you trade your privacy to get the walled garden to work.
Great deal.
For Apple.
What *they* do, is they set up the Apple account on their side.
This can only happen if you call them & identify yourself to them.
Only *after* Apple creates the iCloud account, can you then set it up.
Even after they've created the iCloud account over the phone, they still require your phone number to verify that iCloud account on the iPad.
The trick is you can't do it with their iOS system prompts.
Nope. Won't work.
You *must* do it through the email app.
Go figure.
It's Apple so it doesn't have to make any sense.
In the end, you *can* create a new iCloud account but you have to trade
your privacy to do it with Apple products.
Apple brazenly lies about privacy.
There is no privacy on Apple products.
Proof.

Another brainless moron troll for the killfile. :-\
Apple does not ask for
SSN, Medicare ID, date of birth, address, etc.
What evidence do you have that providing Apple a phone number
compromises your privacy? What evidence that the phone number
compromises anything?
Adding it to your killfile will not stop you feeding it.

This is not "another" troll. It is the same Arlen, making you dance
simply by changing its posting name.
Adding it to your killfile will not stop you feeding it. It will simply change its name when it wants you to feed it again.

I'm going to respond to this particular Apple troll, Tom Elam,
as if he owns the mentality of an adult. Is that OK with you Tom?
Since you called well-established facts "bullshit", what exactly are you claiming is "bullshit" since I provided all necessary details, including screenshots, proving Apple *requires* your personal phone number in order
to set up an iCloud account which is needed to download apps for the iPad.
Why do you Apple trolls call that "bullshit"?
Is it because you don't believe it?
If so, that means you're completely ignorant of how the walled garden
works.
Or, is it because you don't like it?
Then you're just being an ignorant troll by claiming the earth is flat. Simply because you don't like that it's round.
The fact is only Apple forces you to trade your privacy for the privilege
of installing apps. Google doesn't do it. Microsoft doesn't either.
Just Apple.
That's a fact.
You can call that fact "bullshit", but then, as an adult, I ask why.
Apple does not ask for
SSN, Medicare ID, date of birth, address, etc.
Huh? Nobody said they did. And yet, they do. Apple *requires* your
government ID whenever you stop logging into your iPad, which you Apple trolls are unaware that you're logging into the Apple servers every day.
Yes. You heard that correctly. Only Apple requires your government issue iD to unlock an iPad that Apple unilaterally bricked simply because you
stopped logging into it for two years (this happened on two different iPads!).

What's interesting is you Apple trolls know nothing about Apple.
Why don't you Apple trolls know anything about how Apple really works?
What evidence do you have that providing Apple a phone number
compromises your privacy? What evidence that the phone number
compromises anything?
Huh? It's your phone number. Only you. Nobody else. If you don't understand that it compromises your privacy, then let me ask you why you think NOBODY BUT APPLE does this? Nobody. Not Google. Not Microsoft. Just Apple.
Do you Apple trolls understand anything at the level an adult should?
Why, Tom Elam, do you think only Apple requires your phone number in order
to install apps - when NOBODY else who makes an OS requires your privacy?
You never answer my questions. You don't have answers.
You make that claim without even realizing I know more about Apple than all of you Apple trolls combined do - since NONE of you even know that you're logging into Apple mainframe servers every single moment of every day of
the rest of your natural life. You don't know that. You think you're not.
But you are.

engage this nymshifting trolling nutcase.
I recall decades ago posting to moderated groups where such abusive nutters would be banhammered on sight. Those were the good ole days of no nonsense moderators. Now groups like this devolve into a shitshow thanks primarily
to one or more bad actors and their multiple enablers.
That’s Arlen’s sole raison d'etre, smearing his feces across the group while self-appointed janitors keep trying to clean up after him.
