Apple's called Android a "massive tracking device" in an internal presentation
An internal Apple presentation now made public by the Department of Justice shows just what the company thought of privacy on Android.
You're viewing a single thread.
Yeah yeah, wake me up when you can unlock the bootloader on apple phones.
Exactly as long as Apple devices are closed source black box you have ZERO privacy under any circumstances. At least on an open platform like Android you can get pretty close.
What do you mean by get pretty close?
Having to log into a Google account that uniquely identifies you across all your devices and milks you of every single data it can put its filthy hands on?
I am an android user but honestly between the two I think Apple is the lesser evil
(If you buy a suitable device) You don't have to use the preloaded OS (see Graphrne, Lineage etc).
Yes I know but that's clearly not what the previous guy was talking about
I mean android is an open source system. You have the ability, if you want to not install any proprietary Google software. You have the ability to gain admin access to the device and inspect, modify, extend, develop all of the code running on your phone.
You do not have this ability with any Apple or any other closed source, blackbox system and in fact you have absolutely no idea what it is actually doing. Apple is orders of magnitude worse in this respect.
An android phone can be turned into a powerful tool of user empowerment. Apple products on the other hand are simply content delivery devices. If Apple wants to show you an ad, record every tap, track your eye movements, scan your files etc. there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. You are using their product and only exactly in the way Apply will allow, not one byte more.
Yup, the logic people use to call Apple phones secure would put Fisher Price toy phones at the S-Tier of security.
