it's always amazing to me that a typical android user tells me they hate iOS because it's locked down and android is much more open -- whenever i follow up with what apps they've actually side loaded they don't know what i'm talking about, never mind about whether their phone is rooted and they're running a rom.
yet a majority of them use very expensive handsets that compete in a premium space to iOS devices and ciphen data not only back to google to to their respective manufacturers and anyone else that puts bloat on their phone -- bloat that they can't remove on their "much more open devices".
what was the silly movie that had the quote "the greatest trick the devil made was to convince the world that he didn't exist.".
- detaro 5y agoOf course anecdotal here too, but it seems highly unlikely that that's a typical android user perspective. Even among fellow nerds that argument is not that overwhelming, and they are a tiny group of people.

An android phone is more open even without side-loading or rooting because Google's play store much less restrictive than Apple's app store.
