    yes. we all know.

    apple fanboys are the people who don’t think this shit happens to them.

    the only halfway private smartphones are unlocked androids that can be used with a degoogled OS. and even then.

      I say this as an Apple hater: this is a false narrative. Apple fanboys say that their devices are more private, not completely private, and they are (assuming a stock Android OS). That’s not really up for debate. The mistake you’re making is positing privacy as a binary concept. Privacy is a spectrum.

            i read what you said. its not true, they are both mining as much data as they possibly can regardless of what their marketing department lets out.

            i mean, the snowden leaks still hold true and we are literally in a thread discussing how apple shares data with governments.

              What you think I said is not true. But that’s not what I said. I said Apple devices are more private.

      All fanboys are alike. I just find it ridiculous to think that only android users are aware of privacy issues. I’ve used both, currently run an iPhone but with end to end encryption turned on. Yet I know that not all things are private.
