Developers from Mysk challenge Apple's famous focus on privacy. The developers claim that Apple's anonymized usage data for some internal apps includes a Directory Services Identifier (DSID) that is uniquely linked to your Apple ID and iCloud data. 
Apple could potentially use this DSID to track your browsing habits on App Store, according to Mysk. This seemingly contradicts Apple's claim that "none" of the data is personally identifiable, and appears to extend to iOS 16.

This data includes your iPhone model, keyboard languages and other details that could theoretically be used for a fingerprintmaterial fingerprint of your device. Gizmodo reports that many users filed a class-action lawsuit against Apple after Mysk's privacy data was published.
