> As far as you know. Still better than leaving the capability right there in the open, no? Also you do understand critical parts of Android like Google Play Services are closed source, and also outright malicious when it comes to a privacy standpoint (it’s right there in the name - Google Play Services). Sure, you can build a privacy-conscious Android from scratch if you’re tech-savvy and have lots of free time and courage. We’re not talking about a tech person here, we’re talking about someone who just wants to sort this problem out and get on with their life. Buying an iPhone solves that problem easily and in little time.
