So all your data go to Apple instead. And many apps collect data and send to Google (eg. Any Google app, like maps or waze).
There’s very little reason any more that a phone can’t be used in the US, it just needs to support US frequencies. Cell providers like US Mobile don’t care what phone you bring, so long as it’s compatible with US frequencies.
Plus I’m sure someone building an OSS device isn’t going to ignore an entire market of frequencies.
Yeah, so Apple, like Mozilla, collects telemetry data. And some people are against that as well. And on an Android phone with custom firmware, you can disable the telemetry as well as the marketing stuff. And you can turn it off in Firefox. But in iOS you cannot.
Everyone has a threat model they base their needs around. Telemetry doesn’t bother me. I’ll turn it off if I can, but I won’t disqualify a device where I can’t. I do believe you should be able to, though.
