Compared to any android phone the privacy is substantially better. Apple is in the business of selling overpriced phones. Google is in the data collection business.
The issue here is that while baseline apple is more secure than baseline android, a user with knowledge or a guide can improve the android security by a lot, whereas the apple baseline is also the ceiling. There’s stuff you can do with iPhones but if you don’t trust apple, you are kind of fucked.
Android people that mention security won’t be using a stock phone from the store, they will have disabled stuff, enables alternative stuff, or even installed a completely new android based OS, and this can’t be done with iPhone or iOS.
True. But for 99% of people baseline is what they use. Windows can be made very secure by experts but the fact is 99% of people just use windows as is.
100% agree, just take into account that most people you encounter on lemmy, specially on posts about security, are in that 1% that tweak stuff and if you throw blanked statements they will think you are talking to them specifically.
Fair. And I see it lol. My inbox is full of people who want to argue with me.
If you aren’t using the iOS lockdown mode, it’s not really that much more private. Most stuff is still not encrypted in iCloud without that on, and apps can still track much of what you do, and Apple has their own ad networks.
Edit: has any of the downvoters actually read Apple’s (public!) security architecture documents?
Anti-libre software, iOS, bans us from proving its claims. Stop paying Apple to pre-infect our devices and spy on us too.
My devices need libre software, not a business.
You are preaching to the choir.
When it comes to privacy: GrapheneOS > iOS > android with Google.
Android itself is good. It’s just android with Google that’s the problem. (Aka 99.999% of all android phones sold outside of China)
They ban us from proving this. Both malware, anti-libre software, ban us from proving it’s claims.
Why do you keep posting the same thing over and over?
Their posts won’t change much, so obviously our replies don’t either.
The fuck are you talking about? I feel like I’m interacting with the borg or something.
😂😂😂 I fucking love that response
This means when someone says ‘this malware is abusing me’ the answer is always some version of ‘remove that malware’. Asking the same question a million different ways, a million different times, doesn’t change its answer.
