Speaking only for myself -> say for argument sake, Apple really was the Mercedes of privacy. At best, that makes them benevolent dictators. iOS is completely locked down. Prob is, benevolent dictators can become hostile dictators overnight. Maybe company management changes. Maybe they have financial probs and look to selling user data to shore up the balance sheet. Corporate policies can change. Subservience to a big tech co about what s/w you are even allowed to run on your own dev, feels risky to me.
I do get why ppl like Apple stuff tho. It’s very polished. It’s just not for me.
Some of my favourite TheHatedOne’s videos are the Apple privacy videos.
Any in particular you’d recommend?

None of THO’s Apple videos stand out … they are all good.
