      It is the only thing that can be done because we don’t make up a significant amount of the population of phone users unfortunately.

      But, I’ll be moving rest of my family members to Apple while I find alternatives for myself just out of spite. Benefits of being the tech person of the family.

        So this spite move is to the ecosystem that originally invented this same shitty closed ecosystem as a strategy. Genius.

          Well when it comes to the two big corporations I do tend to see Apple in a better light than Google that is more heavily involved in the data collection and advertising business. Not that Apple isn’t collecting data and not completely private, but they seem less evil in those areas than Google.

          And for regular people there is less benefit to being on Android compared to Apple, since they don’t tend to care or know about sideloading or custom ROMs. So if it’s giving data to Google or to Apple I guess it’s a matter of opinion on who it’s better for them to give it to.
