A big reason I switched to iOS is that Apple cares about letting me control what runs on my phone and how much apps can nag me and what they can access. Google does not care about this at all and it's reminiscent of the huge risk of downloading anything on a PC. That's exactly what I'm trying to get away from on the phone.
- nimbleDT 10y agoFunny, I switched to Android because Apple exerted complete control over what software I could run on my phone, to the extent that I can only run the apps they allow me to, but I get your point. I guess I decided that Google's BS was a little more palatable than Apple's BS.
- randyrand 10y agoTho not ideal, I've been jailbreaking every iPhone ive had for 4 years now. Best of both worlds.

- Anasufovic 10y agoUnless you are some sort of app reviewer and install hundreds of apps I would say the Google method is better. You get notifications served by default and its a quick long press right in the notification bar to mute all future notifications if needed. Apple wants you to make this decision early on when often I don't even know what type of notifications an app serves.
