            Probably for the best because “You literally asked” has a very specific meaning, which was entirely incorrect here.

                To change the goalposts yeah? I make a flippant comment about one approach to data harvesting being more exhaustive than another and you eventually say “yeah but not degoogled Android”? Nobody was talking about that. As I say, each to their own, I’m sure degoogled Android is great for the comparatively few that use it, but the initial post I replied to just specified Android. Of the two companies - Google and Apple - I know which one I’m more likely to trust with my data.

                  i’m still standing firmly on the goalpost that apple isn’t any more private than google.

                    As well as the degoogled Android goalpost, I know.

                    It’s all choice at the end of the day, isn’t it. I choose Apple for a variety of reasons, and they’ve championed privacy regularly in recent years. Whether we choose to believe the claims, well that’s up to the consumer isn’t it. One thing’s for sure, Google definitely don’t make the same claims.

                  Google harvesting data = bad

                  Apple harvesting data = bad

                  Degoogled not harvesting = good

                  A degoogled Android is therefore the superior product by an elementary process of elimination. The vast majority Android features are not exclusive to the Google portion of the ecosystem, so that is not the qualifier.

                  Of the two companies - Google and Apple - I know which one I’m more likely to trust with my data.

                  You’re going with the company that gave a Nazi a golden statue?

                  Alrighty then, stay losing and simping for overpriced trash I guess.

                    This comment was reported but I didn’t remove it because I think it’s quite mild, but this line is unnecessary:

                    Please refrain from personal attacks.

                    Okay mate 😂

                    Not once have I questioned the viability of a degoogled android device.

                    This is literally an apple enthusiast community. I’m not sure what you’re expecting, or are you just here to troll with the last statement?
