    Those privacy policies aren’t worth the paper they are written on.

    It takes just one FISA letter to compromise Apple. In fact, there is legislation like the Cloud Act that forces US tech companies to betray our trust.

      Regardless of that, Apple has at the very least put effort into adding privacy features. Google on the other hand is literally the company that does the advertising. Google’s main business is advertising. I said very clearly that Apple may not be perfect, but they’re objectively more privacy focused than others whether that’s for your gain or theirs

        Apple sells ads and it’s ad business is expected to grow. They have literally kicked everyone out and are now the sole source of information on iPhone users.

        Another thing I’dime to know does Apple buy data?

        Android is open source. Apple’s stuff is not. Privacy and closed source can not be in the same sentence.

        You can at least customize Android to get rid of offending stuff. You can’t even pick your web browser on Apple.
