Recently got a pixel as a secondary work phone and was reminded that I actually kinda like android (my main is an iPhone). Problem is mostly that I don’t want an even higher level spyware device. Of course I could use graphene but I use Apple Pay, find my / AirTags regularly and I also would need to find good alternatives to iCloud, and photos which I honestly kind of like. I suppose I could possibly get a pixel watch and get around the pay limitations but maybe some users who have switches might have some general insight.

Edit: I guess my best option right now is to stick with my current plan of both devices and maybe see what oem graphene partners with and if that somehow changes anything

    iphones are not more private than androids.

    don’t believe apple marketing at face value.

      Does google say no when the FBI want access to androids or do they have so many holes they don’t need to

        Google pissed off a bunch of people because they stopped storing your location date in the cloud and now only store it on device. Reason they gave is they don’t want the data so it can’t be asked for.

        they don’t, same as apple.

        i figure they both have backdoors and have known holes by the “security” agencies they will use if they need to.

        This was a publicity stunt, fbi than paid nso to give them a zero day exploit to bypass the ios password. No software is bug free.

      I’m definitely skeptical of anything closed source in general but there isn’t too much on the contrary, so it’s just a matter of one company makes money on data and on doesn’t. I’m sure they both collect similar amounts of data though.
