Ah, yeah, I can see what you mean. Apple is definitely hypocritical, and it bugs me how they handle certain aspects of privacy. And the overzealous Apple crowd often behaves as though privacy is achieved just because they're using Apple products. iMessage is perhaps the most annoying offender to me because it's not end-to-end encrypted if iCloud backups are enabled -- meaning that my iMessage conversations have a high chance of not being E2EE on the other person's end. Hopefully it made sense why I compared to Android. Apple does seem like a bastion of privacy when compared to Android -- just because Android and iOS are the only mainstream options on mobile. I would love to see Linux become more mainstream in the mobile space but I don't think it ever will, unfortunately (even though Android runs a Linux kernel, I don't really consider it Linux).

If we define bastion to be that way then sure. I was using this definition: >an institution, place, or person strongly defending or upholding particular principles, attitudes, or activities. >I would love to see Linux become more mainstream in the mobile space but I don't think it ever will, unfortunately (even though Android runs a Linux kernel, I don't really consider it Linux).
