Hi Tom,

I happen to own iPads so I know how they worked and work now (which is
different in terms of privacy). It used to be you can create an Apple
Account with completely bogus information - but it's no longer possible.

Given no other operating system but iOS needs that account, how are you
going to "Get an Apple Account" without giving away your privacy to Apple?

Why is it that the right of privacy is only impossible on Apple devices?
