    I know Apple aren’t perfect but they are the only major tech company that even try to seem like they take privacy seriously. Obviously, we don’t know how much data they actually harvest but at least they say it’s all private and on device. They make a believable case for their product actually being their hardware. You even pay extra for that. Meta, Google, Microsoft & Co. are pretty open, that all they want is your data and that you are the product. So, unless you want to go the extra mile and actively pursue privacy (get ungoogled android or a Linux phone, and only use open source software, etc.), Apple seems to be your best bet, imo

      Normies will use Apple because they claim to have privacy in their forefront. Nerds like me degoogle and don’t use social media(unless you count this… What is Lemmy?).

      It’s easier to go Apple. Difficult to use Android and own your privacy.
