they obviously not on the same level as google and meta, and media writes often about apple not wanting to unlock a criminal’s iphone in a fbi case.

average user just knows that apple doesn’t give your data to 3rd party, nobody thinks about apple being the bad one here.

people don’t even think about apple, when talking about data privacy. they look google, amazon and facebook differently than apple.

i’m using an iphone and i had to pay for icloud storage for like a year or two. than, i bought a pc with 2tb ssd and wanted to download all of my data from icloud and delete my subscription. downloading was no problem since you can request all of your data, problem was my 128gb data was not sorted and i had to delete all of my photos by hand from icloud.

i’m thinking about buying a google pixel 7a, since it’s cheap and i don’t need much more, and use graphene os with it. i can return my iphone when purchasing and 7a is gonna cost something like €100-200
