This is exactly why I use iOS over Android on my main phone. With iOS, I only need to trust Apple (approximately). They have a pretty good track record of respecting their users' privacy, and enforcing app vendors to do the same.
With Android, I need to trust a lot more parties, like Google, the hardware vendor, and every app I use to not do something crazy or shady without asking or notifying me first.
- frik 10y agoWell, I thought the same about Microsoft. Back in the days, Microsoft had a good track record. And you bought the product, they were the biggest software company, etc. But late Steve Palmer and especially Nadella changed Microsoft completely. Nowadays, the user is the product, Windows 10 spies on you and send keystrokes, audio, install apps and what not to various IP adresses, you cannot deactivate it, ads in startmenu, pre-installed adware apps, etc. And Snowden revaled that Microsoft was the first company to hand over data (Hotmail/Live/Outlook.com). So the trust in Microsoft is gone. I hope Apple keeps it good track record.
