No, I know exactly how Google makes money. And you’re giving it to them. Sure, you avoid their tracking, but if you think they sell their phones at a loss, you’re a fool. Good day.
Apple products are objectively mid at best. They make over priced products then spend way too much on advertising convincing foolish people that their mid products are basically luxury. It’s all crap.
@D1G17AL@fourish That may be true and I would not spend that kind of money if it weren’t for the ecosystem.
And, since the DNA of Apple is building and selling hardware, it’s only logical that they can be a privacy advocate. At least more so than other big companies.
Final point: they are the only tech company with professional customer care (where you pay for, one way or the other) that actually helps and saved my ass a couple of times in the past.

You’d think so, but when you look at their privacy policies and see how much tracking they do to sell you ads, you realize they aren’t any different and never have been.
Rich people fight for rich people. Remember this when you make decisions about giving corporations money.
Especially looking at you, Apple people.
@circuitfarmer @cantankerous_cashew @apple_enthusiast or Walmart or Amazon or… it’s inescapable
Oh cool I’ll just get my phone and mobile OS from this upstart named “goggle” or something?
Custom ROM pixel is the best choice on the market if you actually care to fight the clown corpos…
Or just do nothing and consoom like a good little boy.
If you buy a Pixel, you’re still supporting Google. So miss me with that sanctimonious shit.
You have poor understanding how Google makes money.
They need you using that phone with their spyware, they sell pixels to lock people up in their shiti GPS bullshit. Custom Rom fixes that issue.
Also, buy a second hand pixel if you really trying to do the full mile to dent the parasite profit.

You can always get a used or refurbished device. It’s good for your wallet and for the planet.
Apple makes great products. I will continue to buy them. Shrug.
