I just tried using an Iphone.
Didnt read any disclaimers. Just set up Features and enabled Icloud Plus, Music Subscription, Icloud enhanced Privacy. All without inputting any identifying info. I can pay everything with prepaid balance.
Of course the convenience is a bait.
But none of the guides talk about the juicy questions:
- Can apps communicate with each other and cross snitch?
- Do apps get to see fixed IDs?
- If I reinstall an app, does it know its the same phone?
- How do I deal with role identities?
You miss some explanation of concepts that you seem to refer to that miss either the right term or I just nerver heard of it.
What are role identities?
What do you mean with cross snitching?
If tracking requests are declined an app is not allowed to keep phone IDs otherwise they are accoriding to Apple’s policies.
IDFV however may still be used within the app context. It cannot be ruled out that a developer combines this data regardless.
It can however not be ruled out that an app does not do this anyway. Facebook famously disregarded the policies multiple times but this is most likely far spread.

Edit:
Also relevant is that Apple itself does not follow the rules it imposes on others:
