Simple, really. Google is an ad company, while Apple isn't. I have no idea how Google analyses behavioural patterns etc, but it pleases me to think that perhaps I somewhat reduce the number of times I become a data point for them (same reason why I don't use their search).
c) Why don't you de-google an Android phone, plenty of OSs to choose from?
My bank app and national e-id won't work, or so I heard. Plus, I do enough tinkering with my xmonad config, emacs init file, and all that. Simply no energy or interest left to spend on mobile, which to me is relatively unimportant.

- GeekyBear 4y agoThe difference between selling an ad and relentlessly spying on the entire world to make ad sales more profitable is lost on some. Amazon knows what I have bought from Amazon. Google buys a copy of everyone's credit card transaction data, so they can spy on your offline life the way they already spy on your online life.
