Well, to be fair, Apple is pushing privacy as differentiator quite hard. So, it is ok if they get scrutinized more for things that don’t run well on their platform. I just checked: ALL my iPhone apps have background sync on. For what?

It isn't. It's a good article in the sense that it points out bad app behavior, but a bad one in that it suggests this is an iPhone problem, not a mobile problem.

Apple claims to be pro privacy, it's one of their last differentiators. But if this falls, it's an overpriced cheap Android IMO
