That’s not true. Apple was position itself as being better at security than Microsoft long before Google was selling devices to people.

- i_am_jl 3y agoApple sold itself as having better security. It's debatable whether or not that was true, and even if you believed it it was up for another debate whether that security was by design or because Apple's vanishingly small share of the PC market made it uneconomical to write malware targeting OSX. This isn't to say that Microsoft was doing security properly back then either, they weren't.
- elishah 3y agoTrue, but security and privacy are different things. At most, one could say that security is necessary-but-not-sufficient for privacy. Google is generally excellent at security, but that doesn't change the fact that they're a nightmare for privacy.
