Continued apple-fication of file access permissions from google, alienating the tech savvy
Material you with curvation syndrome
user interface with more 'design' over quick function

          Answer: by collecting your data
          ,if you don't like to call it spying then it's your choice
          But reality doesn't change or else why Russia and China would ban iPhones in work sector?

You sacrifice a lot of modern conveniences and you will still be tracked by your cell tower, government and any online services that you can't live without. Plus, a lot of entities already have a huge profile on you unless you have been privacy conscious since like the early 2000s, which most people haven't been.

                  Did I just read Pixel 4a??? Are we gonna get lucky?

                    No thanks. My android 11 is already perfect. Anything beyond it, are just useless cosmetic (theme) changes.

                      Anonymous, 03 Oct 2023At least they do it better than any android.Don’t get me wrong, they absolutely do. This is why I have a vanilla S23 as my second phone. I just want them a little more consistent. One month I get it right on time, other months its just weeks too late 😒

                            Much like how Linux is on ancient laptops.

                            Too bad buying new makes more money and is the business model adopted by the current system.

How the heck do you think Apple sends you updates if they don't have your info in their system? Some of y'all are just dumb. Every tech company keeps an eye on their products. It's not only Google.

Security is one thing and privacy is another. You cannot even operate iPhone and install applications and update them if you do not provide your privet information. On the other hand with Android you can sideloading applications from open source software and repositories without having to put even your name.
