Framework
Apple's iOS privacy framework that requires apps to get explicit user permission before tracking them across other apps and websites for advertising.
Apple's iOS 27 blocks calls to adtech domains run by The Trade Desk, ID5, LiveRamp, Permutive and Audigent, stopping some iPhone web ads from serving at all. Marketers heading into the holiday quarter can now lose the ad impression on iPhones as well as the ability to target it.

Apple's notarization cleared Rate Me's App Review-banned rating mechanic four times in six rounds and rejected two builds over tracking and login rules. Outside the App Store, expect a human on an iPad checking declared frameworks and linked web pages.
Reality
Apple went straight to a 27.2 developer beta with no 27.1 test build, and MacRumors attributes the jump to keeping iPhone Duo code hidden. Inside, the new Health app calculates a Health Age from camera assessments.
Reality
The claim covers any free app funded by advertising and attaches £2 billion to five years of consent prompts, without saying how that figure was built or when London's tribunal will get around to hearing it.
Reality
The claim treats App Tracking Transparency as an attribution problem for UK developers rather than a privacy setting, and it needs the tribunal to accept that Apple's own ad business never cleared the same bar.
Reality
A developer's App Store rejection under Guideline 2.1 traced back to one line in Apple's docs: the tracking prompt is skipped unless the app state is active, and the return value looks identical either way.
