I’m curious - why do you pick iPhone compared to other smartphone brands? (Google Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, etc.)

(I’m also going to be asking in other phone subs, hope this survey goes well)

PRIVACY, PRIVACY, PRIVACY

Android is literally a joke in terms of privacy

I've been a lifelong Android user, but after switching to the iPhone 13 a year ago, there's no turning back. I can't even imagine the amount of data being collected by apps and Android itself. Their primary revenue model is based on gathering as much data as possible.

Yesterday, while setting up my mother's new Android phone, I was shocked by the data collection points. Android devices profile you based on your usage, fingerprinting you for many of your activities. That's why you often see ads related to things you've been thinking about in your mind only. Since they've already profiled you, they can frequently predict your next move. Privacy on Android is almost non-existent.

I'm not including Graphene OS in this, as it's truly a gem 💎
