    Yeah. Apple is super slimy. They just hide it better. I’d like to move away from Apple entirely, but I’m kinda stuck right now. I can’t afford to just get rid of perfectly good phones and tablets to try and replace them with better privacy options.

    I do what I can to protect my privacy on apple devices, but I don’t trust them at all.

      I don’t blame you. I’d definitely choose apple over Windows at least on the desktop side of things. You get a Unixy experience and their UI is pretty good.

      I am still a Gnome user mostly because the interface is Maclike and I came to Linux from the Mac world.

      That and as far as phones and tablets go, your options are really limited if you want to go the custom ROM route. ARM is horrible in that each SOC needs its own custom kernel. A very different world from x86.

        The tablet and mobile limitations really suck. I edit my photos on my iPad, (and privacy issues aside), I love the iPad for this, and don’t have any plans to abandon it.

        I’d consider a pixel with graphene, but not until the phone I have dies/is unusable.
