> [Apple's] privacy-first strategy

That is a marketing and advertising strategy.



I'm a cross-platform app developer and can assure you iOS is much stronger in terms of what data you can/can't get from a user


That says nothing about what Apple does with data.


- dozens of horrific 0days cves every year because not enough is invested in security, making private virtually impossible

- credit card required to install free apps such as the "private" Signal messenger

- location required just to show me the weather in a static place, lol

- claims to be e2e but apple controls all keys and identities

- basically sells out all users' icloud data in china, and totally doesn't do the same in the US, because tim pinky swears

- everything is closed source
