That was me as well. I’m a free software zealot, so it took me a long time to switch to iPhone. Eventually the amount of fiddling with Android permissions to keep some sense of privacy while still retaining some utility became too burdensome. The last straw was when an update disabled the pedometer feature I’d been using on my treadmill unless I enabled location so they could “help me map my routes”. I’m pretty sure I know where my treadmill is at all times, and entirely sure I don’t need Google to help.
Since then I’ve switched to Firefox or Safari and stopped using any Google things except YouTube. I was surprised at how easy it was to get this far.
