ACTUALLY! Android is more private than the iPhone! (Disclaimer: The YouTuber is anti-China, but his analysis on Apple is very good)

    Unless running a hardened and privacy focused OS like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS I wouldn’t consider really any android to be private. Between Google’s own apps and 3rd party manufacturers like Samsung having their own spyware, standard Android is just as diseased as Apple products.

    And unfortunately nowadays there’s only a few phones that can even securely unlock their bootloader, install a safer OS, and relocking it to precent tampering.
