I have read the article and honestly compared to others considering the times we live in it’s really not that bad (it is bad, don’t get me wrong).

That said I really miss my Nokia 3210…

My sources say otherwise.. Apple has an interest in collecting your data.

It does for sure, but it will always be far less aggressive about it than Google. Most sensitive data is either stored in device and semi-handled there, or quickly deleted (although we know everything that goes to a USA server is likely stored forever)

A lot of this data can be opted out on installation, which can’t really be said for Android iirc

Android also runs Google play services and their other proprietary software with root access on your device, push the Play Integrity API which essentially locks out devices that don’t run their software with root access or dare to use non authorized roms (non authorized you say? Hmm.. really similar to Apple…)

Both OS suck big time and I can only hope Android and Apple are freed from the BS done by their owners, and app devs finally stop discriminating users for caring about their data and privacy

but here on lemmy we read the OPs text first before commenting, which also would have answered all your questions

This went over your head. I know the post was about Apple and I was pointing out that android is likely worse for privacy

I know this is not really a thing where you come from

Personal attacks. You love to see it. Really shows the kind of person you are. Why opt for verbal violence and try to discredit me?

Agreed

I'll still argue that Apple is on paper less bad than Android, but being closed-source we never know, especially since they are willing to lie to protect their interests. They're often hit with FUD though.

We really need the 'freedom' of android and the aesthetics and 'ease of use' of ios, without the proprietary bullshit, vendor lock-in and the privacy nightmare
