Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    I understand the “taste” argument, but personally the goal of not having a corporation man-in-the-middle everything I do takes priority. I degoogle my phone to the best of my ability.

    Unfortunately, good vision and design takes funding, and there’s not a lot of money to be made from not taking advantage of users.

      Apple’s hardware sales are about 70% of revenue, whereas Google’s are more like 10%. That’s a lot of funding that doesn’t have to come from user data.

        Harvesting user data is a symptom, mitm and taking advantage of users is the root of the problem.

        Saying they don’t profit much from your data is like saying, “they only kick you in the nuts a little bit.”
