    You think they don’t already? Can you even use an iPhone without an Apple ID? I’m fairly sure you couldn’t install any apps without one, and if you’ve ever paid for anything they definitely already have your real data.

        They know the user’s identity - they have the name and home address on the credit card used to pay.

        If you mean “it doesn’t have the user’s ID card”, well that’s true. But that’s mainly because the UK doesn’t actually have an ID card or national ID database/reference number, so NO operator in the UK has “the user’s ID” in that sense.

          The person paying might not be the user, is what I mean. I’m thinking of phones given to younger family members.
