Fake news. Apple devices are bullet proof and can’t ever be compromised.

Don’t be a jerk to a guy who runs a useful ping list. I suppose you use a flip phone?

Android OS sucks worse than Apple. So there. It’s either one of those, or a flip phone. Enjoy the suck.

Android OS isn’t worse than IOS. Give me your reasons why you think so? With IOS you can’t delete app cache and data and then it becomes a bloated pig. The most bloated are browser apps, FB, Youtube etc. When I went from my Samsung S5 to iPhone 11 Pro there was a good 3 months I was cursing the phone because of stupid limitations that weren’t allowed with the Apple. Like retarded things. With battery saver on I can’t disable the 30 second screen timeout limitation. BS like that is infuriating. With Android I’d be able to make changes in developer options, good luck with that in Apple. Having an Apple feels like living in the nanny state dictating to you what you can and cannot do. Android feels like living in America decades ago before the big brother government control we live under now.

Because Apple has at least some morals when it comes to protection of user data, identity, and privacy, while Google/Android have none whatsoever, that is why.

BS I have more random spam and phising type calls o nce I switched to iphone 11 Pro even with the same number. It was almost within the first month I was getting 10-20 spam type calls per week. With Android I was rarely getting them maybe 2-3 per month. Nice try dude, but that’s a big fail. Any other reason that’s actually based on truth?

Another reason I preferred my Samsung was I was able to tether my phone’s internet connection to my laptop with no limitations. I haven’t been able to do this with Apple, and have to use Hotspot data that runs out after 15GB. When I was on Sprint with my Samsung I was using 40-70GB a month with no speed restrictions. Now on Apple if I go over 15GB speed is dropped to 128kb/s.

Data speeds and quantities are a function of your deal with the carrier, and are device independent.

Have a nice day.

Nice how you gloss over the actual problems of the IOS I posted and just try to point out a trivial fact about carrier data speeds that is skirting the issue. You can’t tether Iphones. Samsung phones you can. I’m guessing you’re one of the iPhone cultists. Here I am with an iPhone and I can call out any of the BS issues they have. I just saw a new update to 14.5 and I quote, “iOS 14.5 includes the option to unlock iPhone with Apple Watch while wearing a face mask”. Are you freaking kidding me? Apple down with the Fauxci mask police too now it seems. Unf’king believable.

"Android OS sucks worse than Apple. So there. It’s either one of those, or a flip phone."

Or...   run Linux on open source hardware. Quit being the product.
