In terms of privacy, Android is "compromised" by default, i.e. Google collects and stores a ton of private information about you. I believe Apple used to be much better, and still is, but getting worse.

- aio2 4y agoIt seems before, Apple was trying to gain a monopoly. Now that it has enough users, it turns to tracking. However, this is a speculation, so please take it as a grain of salt.

- doc_gunthrop 4y ago> In terms of privacy, Android is "compromised" by default, i.e. Google collects and stores a ton of private information about you. Apple also does the same. Also, this only applies if you're running an Android device "out-of-the-box". Fortunately, there exist AOSP forks that mitigate this type of intrusion (e.g. GrapheneOS).
