you’re average android phone is likely 100x worse than apple privacy wise. Apple makes money on hardware, not user data. They wouldn’t put so much effort into secure enclaves, e2e encryption, and private ai clouds otherwise, as all of this makes data collection harder.
Unless you’re using grapheneOS, the anti-apple pro-android privacy crowd is a larp and misinformed. Android is built by google, a company who could care less about your privacy.

Agreed ... On iOS you get privacy from companies except apple. On standard bloated android, you get privacy from no one.
Apple has an ad platform as well. Every Facebook ad user is using an Apple-made identifier to correlate interests instead of a Meta-made one. That apple made identifier so that they could control the ad space and sell their own ad platform:
Don't fool yourself into thinking that Apple is much different than Google. They are all selling your data. Google is just upfront that they are selling it.

100%. Graphene is it’s own league but the average Samsung phone etc has absolute shite privacy. I’d trust that shit 100 times less than an Apple phone. Apple provides no freedom but seems to have better privacy overall.
I'm agnostic about Apple and Google, but the thing that strikes me is this.
You ask Google, do you share my data. They say hell yeah. Do you profile me. Hell yeah we do.
Apple has never admitted anything until they were caught out. Did you give China access to stay in their market. That's commercially sensitive. Do you use device information to profile us. Silence!
They're just bad in different ways. Google is blatant. Apple is devious.
Install it on my S23U please.
coming from one who obviously has a far greater handle on these technologies, this is both surprising and appreciated.
as one of the big corps, i will always have concerns . they have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar a few to many times.
too good too be true products, they certainly delivered. now they are pursuing ai? its a small step to data collection ....
.... there are always questions.

This is some fanboy copium

And then there is this (which frankly ought to end the discussion, it PROVES they can't be trusted with privacy)


Ars Technica
Apple admits to secretly giving governments push notification data
Apple to update transparency report to break out push notification data requests.
💯 agree with you.
