I moved from Android to Apple for only two reasons:
1. They started using USB Type C.
2. They are the only major manufacturer that appears to actually take privacy seriously. Even their AI endeavours look the most privacy focused that exists.
I'm sure I could go buy some no-name brick and flash my own security focused OS and run my own relays and ... I don't want to do that. I want to buy something that everyone else uses and for it to respect me.
So as much hate as Apple gets, they have my trust in good faith, for now.
- lern_too_spel 2y agoApple is the only major manufacturer that makes phones that can't get their location or install an application without phoning home. The only appearance of privacy is in their marketing. Consider that Google did on-device voice-to-text long before Apple did, that Android lets you use a fully-offline app as your default maps app while iOS does not, and that Android lets you use real Firefox with real uBlock Origin. All out of the box on any Android phone from a reputable vendor. No flashing required. Apple's deceptive marketing has made me lose all trust in the company. It will take a lot more than USB-C for me to consider Apple for computing devices.
