    Going from needing Google’s permission to install apps to needing Apple’s permission to install apps. How would that help in any way?

      It’s not about them being better, it’s about them basically being the same.

      Although I’m not saying I trust Apple for privacy, I trust them more than Google on that front.

      For those that don’t install custom roms it may be preferable to entrust their data to Apple than Google if they are having to end up in a closed ecosystem.

      Rest of us are enthusiasts so we can just pick phones with custom rom support, but its not something every Android user is willing to do.

        I use GOS rn and quite frankly if GOS ever shuts down I’ll get an iPhone, I refuse to accept worse security from roms like LineageOS or /e/os
