No nerdy guy pushes apple for security and privacy. It is all closed source with data leaking by default - partially not possible to turn off.
They rather push devices like librem 5, Pine phone, Fairphone with /e/os, but not Apple...

- xvector 5y agoYou can't seriously be recommending a Librem 5 for mom and grandpa? That's absurd. The thing barely functions. As the parent commenter noted, Apple was really one of the only reasonable recommendations from privacy-oriented nerdy guys to their friends and family, if they didn't want to go the out-of-touch-with-reality route by recommending the phones you listed.
- alexvoda 5y agoAs I mentioned elsewhere in this discussion, when talking about privacy and security you need to talk about threat models. Privacy-oriented is not a single direction. Those recommending iPhones to parrents have a different threat model than those choosing FLOSS devices.
