Do people actually believe Apple's hogwash about privacy?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t assume they are perfect. But I do absolutely believe they are significantly better on privacy than any other major player in the smartphone space.

Even if you don’t pay any attention to their policies and programs, the mere fact that iPhones aren’t running an OS owned by an advertising company should be enough to demonstrate this.

I agree. And if you want some level of convenience and some level of privacy I think Apple is the way to go.

For example I have the skills to use GrapheneOS but I just don't want to deal with it and I want to still be able to use NFC payments. So iOS is the next best thing.
