i’m asking how apple is doing this. how exactly are they exfiltrating information through their earphones?
do they have an app that downloads whatever it listens to from the charger pod thing? do they use a “tethered” bluetooth connection through my phone i could sniff for on my router? is this something that could potentially be on their (already liberal) terms of service?
They’re not. They’re doing it through the OS.
what are they sending though? if it’s something like “the os potentially listens to you, except through headsets too” then it’s not really news that wouldn’t apply to most phones or headsets sold. a wired earphone could do that.
“Most phones or headsets sold” need a third party app to gather any information. The point here is that Apple doesn’t require that because all of those communications are built into the operating system.
bot mine or most of the ones i’ve seen around.
Really? How do they do it?
a simple bluetooth audio connection and no app
They cannot gather information without an app. There’s no other mechanism for them to do so.
there it is then
