It’ll be interesting if Cloudflare or someone else can release numbers on how many hits they’re getting from Private Relay. I’ve always been curious how many people pay the $2 per month for iCloud.

iCloud backup alone is worth it. If you have nightly backups and lose your phone you can just buy a new one and restore.

FWIW, I’ve paid for iCloud for years, no intention to turn the private relay on. That said, if Apple defaults it to on then probably 95% or more of users will leave it enabled.

I don’t see my IP address changing that fast using various what’s my ip services.

It did change when I toggled back and forth between the two IP location settings.

Just another reason most websites are going to stick to ipv4.

Is it any better for site tracking to have 1000 users show as the same v4 address or have 1000 users jump around the same v6b block?
