Why does Apple even let apps read my phone model and battery level?
Because they pay apple? I’d imagine that’s obvious. It’s more useful metrics for the developer. I would be surprised if they didn’t tier the information access about users behind closed doors.
Android’s not perfect, but at least permissions can be set per app, you can root your device, or install GrapheneOS or Lineage to bypass this crap entirely.
I’d rather the ability to fudge these stats to developers, cause my info is none of their damn business when I’m paying for a service.
That can be done on android and other operating systems. Apple is always the SOL option when it comes to dodging this crap.
That’s just evil. Next they’re going to look into your calendar to see if you’re running late.
No, next they’re going to reveal they’ve been mining your calendar data this whole time after a data breach forces them to admit it.

Look, does it really matter whether they do or not? If a company is morally bankrupt enough to conduct business like this in the first place, it’s a certainty they’ll just find some other novel way to be flaming assholes.
If you don’t want to get cheated, stop doing business with thieves and liars.
Personally, I’d rather have a robust and up-to-date set of consumer protections rather than leaving everything up to ‘buyer beware’.
That would be ideal of course, but this is the US we’re talking about, so it seems unlikely that you’ll have them.
It also seems unlikely that you’ll find any businesses who aren’t being liars and cheats here.
