Darn. Drat. I feel so much that I need to belong to the Apple herd! :)

Even though Apple unilaterally bricked my iOS devices simply because I
didn't log in every day of my life (even though I was _always_ logged in
from the very start - so I had simply never logged out of them).

Apple doesn't like that.
Apple wants to track you.
Every single day.

Why else does Apple alone insert a unique tracking ID into every app?
No other operating system does that.
Only Apple's operating systems do that.

And only Apple _forces_ you to log into Apple servers every day!

In fact, Apple will _brick your device_ if you don't keep logging in.

Worse, if you don't show up in person, and give Apple your government ID,
Apple will never let you use your own iPads ever again - due to bricking.

*How's that for privacy!*

Only at Apple does the operating system brick itself until you waltz into
an Apple Store to prove your identification (which they copy!) to use it!

Someone should have told me that _before_ I bought these iPhones & iPads!
<https://i.postimg.cc/YC1B906F/tmopromo01.jpg> That's an iPhone I bought!

I probably have more iOS devices than most of the iKooks have.

What's interesting is the iKooks think nobody can test iOS apps when they
brazenly fabricate iOS functionality that simply doesn't exist.

Both Jolly Roger and nospam proved in that thread that they're so

What's so very strange about iKooks is that nobody on the adult operating
system newsgroups constantly & repeatedly fantasizes about imaginary app
functionality that doesn't exist. Only the iKooks do that strange behavior.

It's only on the child-like Apple operating systems newsgroups.

Why?
