I buy Apple products because in my opinion, they work on my behalf to protect my interests better than the other options available to me.
I think they have been leading in this area and by virtue of competition have pushed other vendors to do the same. I can’t imagine Android based devices would be nearly as privacy focused today if it weren’t for users moving to the Apple ecosystem in search of better security.
- cherryteastain 3y agoYou have degoogled Android options like GrapheneOS that are far, far better for your privacy than Apple devices.
- roamerz 3y agoThat is likely true and I was in that game for awhile but tired of the effort required and the limited hardware that would be fully functional and reliable as a production device. With Apple it’s just easier and I can focus on other areas of life and just use my phone as the tool it is rather than spending untold hours making everything work. Truth be told there was a time in my life when I actually enjoyed fiddling with that but I got my fill and am on to other priorities. There is only so much time in the day.
- ssbash 3y agoGrapheneOS devices lack push notifications, and lot of other features that make it unviable for most users. Making exceptions like installing the Aurora Store or microG, defeat the point of a degoogled phone. iOS can’t be hardened it to a 0 telemetry state like GrapheneOS, but it is a fully featured OS. It strikes the right balance for general consumers, and prosumers like myself.
