I know. It’s Amazing the bullshit we’ll put up with to avoid having to use Android…

Most Apple users want the “cage” for its near-mindless security and privacy. I used to troubleshoot and diagnose PCs all day. I got tired of managing my HTC Windows phone in 2008 and went to iPhone. It’s similar to running Windows Home for the smaller attack surface than Pro, or trading admin for user rights. I love not having to worry about the reliability, privacy, or security maintenance of my daily driver.

I spend all day dealing with computer issues. I never have to deal with iPhone problems. It just works.

Do you have a source on what they provide the NSA? According to their privacy policy they don’t access customer data unless they receive a warrant requesting iCloud data, and they have no access to data on the phone itself or what is transmitted.

Says a lot about the sorry state of Android doesn’t it?

Just because something has market share doesn’t mean it’s good.

Cheap is a thing isn’t it. I hear Walmart is popular. Poor people love cheap.

Said another way, Apple sells more smart phone hardware than any other phone manufacturer on the planet. Samsung being a strong second place at 24% of the world.

Give up all your data to google. You are the product.

Who said I ever signed into Google?

This phone has never been signed into any accounts on the Android OS level, I’ve never activated location services, and I don’t even have a SIM card.

I run WiFi only, with alternate app stores and the ability to transfer apps from one phone to another by copying APK installer files.

Not every Android user is totally stuck to Google.

Whats the point in having a phone if you don’t do any phone things with it?

Believes he isn’t a product. Cute. But you’re full of it and a troll.

This is generally true, but no more than what you do with an iPhone to Apple. Except with the iPhone Apple decides how much, where on Android you can prevent giving data to Google to the degree you wish.
There is no doubt Android phones have more freedom than iPhone. It’s not even reasonably debatable.

Assuming your phone allows it. Not every phone is rootable or has an unlocked bootloader.

I was wondering why you were downvoted, until I saw the name of the sub.
Apple users are definitely in a cage, but apparently they won’t even acknowledge it.
I’m not saying the phones aren’t good otherwise, but using Apple is an obvious sacrifice of digital freedom.

It really depends on the user. I mainly use iPhone, but there are definitely some odd limitations here and there. I’m glad Android exists to provide some alternative.

100% I was one of those hardcore Apple fanboys until I realised it’s turning into a cult. I stopped defending and criticising Apple and it’s policies a long time ago, even though I use iPhone and android.

Just stating the truth, where the truth should be heard no less. The sheeple will never fully realize they’re sheeple if nobody says anything…

You can’t argue someone out of a position they didn’t argue themselves into.
