I’m curious what you don’t like about iOS. I started out on Android, switched to iOS and never looked back. I realized I was doing most customization in Android to feel like iOS lol. the privacy upgrade is priceless imo.
iOS is not private, it's secure.
Private: Only you can see it, the servicing company does not. In the case, Apple not only sees your data but sells it too.
Secure: The data is protected from unwanted access by 3rd party vendors.
These are rough definitions though.
Yeah, this is what concerns me.
Stock Android is neither. So for the average user, Apple iOS is probably better.
I'm on lemmy so I'm probably not the average user lol.
Considering how easily tools like Graykey and Cellebrite can collect data from iPhones, I'm not sure if I would even call them secure.
Makes sense. In that case, I guess I’d still take iOS since it’s secure, while stock Android is neither private nor secure. You make an important distinction though.
