    Downvote me if you must but what if Apple accidentally became the Privacy community’s greatest ally? I know it can’t happen bc they’ll always keep a back door for their data mining

      A back door is not what apple uses to collect data, that’s very very different from sending analytics.

      Apple already outperforms google by 3x in terms of privacy points collected.

      Wanna talk about backdoors? Check out the exploit list for android phones compared to iPhones. Nuff said.

        How does a multimillion dollar company beat a trillion dollar company ath their own security game? Also stop suing Corellium is a good start, don’t sue when you get caught lying, do better.

          Idk but there’s plenty of other android os that are more secure than what google puts out. And they make substantially less.

          Google hasn’t been the same since the switch regarding “evil” and “ethics”.

          Anyone can see that.

          The pragmatic approach used for comparing Android and iOS helps to understand that Android is more susceptible to security breaches and malware attacks.

          https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1574013721000125

          Across all studied apps, our study highlights widespread potential violations of US, EU and UK privacy law, including 1) the use of third-party tracking without user consent, 2) the lack of parental consent before sharing personally identifiable information (PII) with third-parties in children’s apps, 3) the non-data-minimising configuration of tracking libraries, 4) the sending of personal data to countries without an adequate level of data protection, and 5) the continued absence of transparency around tracking, partly due to design decisions by Apple and Google. Overall, we find that neither platform is clearly better than the other for privacy across the dimensions we studied.

          -doesn’t agree with/like what somebody else says: immediately jump to insults.

          Come on. Let’s not insult people because we don’t like what they say. We can do better. We should do better. If people just got along with others who are different or have different interests, the whole world would be a better place.

          Genuinely, I am asking you to reevaluate how you respond, and maybe just try to be a little nicer to others. It costs nothing and makes the world a little bit better every time.

      Hell, if they legitimately stopped their data collection, that would be enough to tip me into iOS until a truly good linux phone in my price range happens.

      I’m curious, do you have a source for them having a backdoor and mining data?

          Wow OK, well that doesn’t have any value then. It’s best not to spread rumours since eich behaviour it can easily spread to other, more important, issues in society.
