I side with Apple, because I feel that they protect my privacy and security. Google is just trying to force Apple users onto a messaging service that is largely hosted on their servers and run by them so they can collect information about users and target us with ads. Do I really need Google knowing when I'm typing a message or my location or all the other information they will surely be able to extract when they are running the messaging platform that all my messages are going over? The beauty of the iPhone is paying for the service instead of having your data be the service and getting it for free. It's a big reason why people are switching to iPhone away from Android. Does Google actually care about our security or privacy, or are they just trying to force us onto their platform?
