Apple tracks you, even if you don't have Apple devices
iOS sends the MAC addresses of nearby devices, e.g. other handsets and the home gateway, to Apple together with their GPS location. Users have no opt out from this and currently there are few, if any, realistic options for preventing this data sharing.

I took this image back in 2018 with VIMOS, an instrument at ESO's Very Large Telescope in Chile.

Here's a ninja turtle with a stick!
Gonna start doing some traditional media practice pieces and selling them on my Gumroad shop (https://gumroad.com/laemeur), and this is the first one I'm puttin' up.
If your community/organisation/company is interested, I am keen to give on-line talks about #FrugalComputing, aka Low Carbon and Sustainable Computing.
Example topics are:
Frugal computing
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and the path towards zero-carbon computing.
https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing/
How to reduce the carbon footprint of your digital lifestyle
https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-consumer/
Frugal computing: developer perspective
On the need for low-carbon and sustainable computing and what developers can do about it.
https://wimvanderbauwhede.github.io/articles/frugal-computing-developer/
But happy to discuss specific topics in this area.
(boosts much appreciated!)
