<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Introduction</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">American tech giant Apple finds itself in another lawsuit. This time a complaint accuses Apple of collecting iPhone user data despite its own privacy settings' promises to do otherwise. Moreover, the lawsuit was filed on Thursday in federal court in California just a few days after </span><a href="https://gizmodo.com/apple-iphone-analytics-tracking-even-when-off-app-store-1849757558" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gizmodo</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> exclusively reported on research that even when iPhone Analytics is turned off, Apple still gathers personal information.</span></p>
<h2><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Apple Tracks Data Even When iPhone Analytics is Disabled?</span>&nbsp;</strong></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The issue was first spotted when two independent researchers at the software company Mysk discovered that the Apple App Store sends the business-extensive information about almost everything a user does in the app, despite a privacy setting called iPhone Analytics that, when turned off, is supposed to "disable the sharing of Device Analytics altogether."&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Not just that, but when the test was performed on other iPhone apps like&mdash;Apple Music, Apple TV, Books, and Stocks, the researchers found that the issue was present in the majority of Apple's iPhone built-in apps. According to researchers, the information Apple collects from users includes some ID numbers, the model of your phone, the display resolution, your internet connection, the list of stocks you are tracking, and the language you are typing in on your keyboard.&nbsp;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">More information about this test can be found in the video posted to the Mysk YouTube Channel.&nbsp;</span></p>

<h2><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Apple Sued for Privacy Setting Issues in iPhone</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plaintiff, Elliot Libman, in the lawsuit, accuses Apple of violating the California Invasion of Privacy Act. According to the lawsuit, "Apple records, tracks, analyzes and monetizes analytics data&mdash;including browsing history and activity information&mdash;regardless of what measures or "privacy settings" people undertake to protect their privacy."&nbsp; Moreover, you can find the case on the </span><a href="https://www.bloomberglaw.com/public/desktop/document/LibmanvAppleIncDocketNo522cv07069NDCalNov102022CourtDocket?1668197884" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bloomberg Law website</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The plaintiffs are seeking &ldquo;Class certification, injunctive relief, compensatory damages, statutory damages, punitive damages, restitution, attorney&rsquo;s fees, and costs.&rdquo;</span></p>
