Security researchers Tommy Mysk and Talal Haj Bakri found that Apple’s device analytics data revealed information that allowed iCloud users to evolve.
They include an identifier called dsId, the directory service identifier. The analysis showed that the dsId is unique to each iCloud account and can be associated with the user’s conspicuous presence, including their name, email address, email address, and other information stored in iCloud.
Apple’s website states that none of the information collected from the device in the detected objects can be traced back to multiple users:
iPhone Analytics may contain detailed information about system hardware and room specifications, manufacturing statistics, and data about how you account for your devices and apps. None of the information collected personally identifies you.

So far, the company has not commented on the find.
