Quote from: A on December 31, 2023, 15:12:40It's not asking to accept new terms if you haven't created/used iCloud account before.
I have meticulously noticed what is asked.
- What is asked about the iCloud terms before having an iCloud account is independent of whether one has, or has not, an iCloud account.
- The question is whether one accepts, or does not accept, the iCloud terms.
- The iCloud terms are in their current version or the version current at the time of introducing a particular OS version.
- The answer choice is between "Not now" versus "Yes" (or "Accept") or some such semantically equivalent phrase in German.
QuoteCall Apple and ask them to close your iCloud account. Takes couple days. You will lose everything in it.
Or log out of Apple ID on device and make a new one.
Or accept the terms and close your account yourself.
I see.
The third option is not for me.
The second option involves risks of not being able to recreate the same AppleID and of losing purchased apps / subscriptions (only one, but still). Therefore, I cannot choose the second option.
The first option presumes that I have an iCloud account. As I have never created any iCloud account by my active action, this would mean that Apple would have created it against my will. Nevertheless, I can indeed try to contact the Apple support and find out whether such is the case and can be changed, and whether that would affect the popup etc. terror. Maybe in January. Thanks for the suggestion!
QuoteIsn't getting rid of it a good news for you? You will finally get Android tablet with all the proper spying on you.
Your sarcasm is unfair as I have avoided Android for also this reason. My OS preferences are Windows or Linux.
There is also a commercial necessity to have some iDevice however old because some contents / communication is only available there and I need access once every few months.

Open a ticket with Apple support.
To beg for replacement of "Not now" by "Never" in Popups? Do you think Apple would apply my suggestion? I have not even dreamt of such a possibility of paradigm change from world-wide uniform service and Walled Garden to a glimmer of friendliness towards the customer. Ok, maybe I will beg and report about Apple's reaction...
