how? justify your reasoning? being on apple who have one of the largest user base, you are more vulnerable for cyberattacks. you said you left google because of Google spying on you. how come apple won't do that?
Oy vey, no man…
Android is the most heavily used OS in the world. The best thing I’m gonna recommend instead of listing all the reasons is to point you to lists of Android vulnerabilities (public info because OSINT is life) vs iOS vulns over time.
Apple may spy on us! But nothing near as severe as google has in the past (and we’re caught for) like when google chrome was listening in on user microphones. Never heard of such a scandal with Apple before.
And for the record I think Apple is over priced and a cult 🤠
well, i use firefox that too a fork which is mull browser developed by divestos, which is more hardened. on custom rom (fully open source android os) i have option to which app to install. so no default chrome browser for me. i don't even use default youtube app. where in apple all your browsers use same safari engine (Where's is your choice when all those different browsers are same) apple in the past had many privacy issues, like giving backdoor to FBI, when they tried to snoop into your phone gallery, but backed down when public enraged over it. when half your data stays in a centralised cloud platform. that's why people like Snowden uses an android that too running custom android os.
here's a video about how iphone isn't a privacy centric phone
You bring up some really good points - you’re never going to be more secure than using stuff that you’ve put together and coded. And even then you are still yourself vulnerable to making mistakes, ignorance of a topic, etc so there is still risk of course.
Ultimately I left android because the vulns for the consumer grade stuff were more frequent than Apples.
It’s just not feasible for me (and I’m assuming many others) to take the time and patience to setup custom images and hardware and everything else to get to the 99.99% secure point. The 80-90% I have now over what I had on end user android builds is just fine
