      iPhones are not any more private, intact less private and unverifiable closed source blackboxes.

      I mean we’re comparing them to Google’s Android. I just said that they are more private. Being more private than a google product is really not that hard.

      And Android phones give much less freedom to the user than they should be. The smartphone ecosystem is a disaster for the consumer.

        iPhones only give an illusion of privacy with non existent freedom to install apps outside of App Store, for which you need Apple ID and then you have their OSCP tracking on apps installed on these iPhones.

        You can easily disable all this on Android, Googled or not. My guide even shows how easy and effective it is to degoogle any Android phone, with very basic knowledge.

        iPhones are not really private when they mandate App Store exclusive installations, no sideloading, almost no control from inside the phone. For them privacy is only a marketing tool and not a human right they respect.

        Apple is marketed by American media purposely as this white coloured clean personalised tool. You do not even need to delve into conspiracy theories to see how marketing works with Apple and industry, when every accessory maker is somehow desperate to cater to a company’s devices with 10% marketshare. Apple is peak capitalism.
