Android or iOS?
-
It must be that Google/Android "spies" people a lot more than Microsoft/Win7/8/10 did/does.
Check out the site 'they' build in Utah - all searches, sms, emails and what not stored "forever", for our security 'they' say…

I've had an iPhone since the very beginning but have played with Android simulators for some games so I can play on the computer without it looking like I'm using my phone at work!

I don't think its a "whats the best system" but rather witch one suits you better. In this case, I prefer iOS because of the integration with all the other apple products.

Why not both?

This is the precise reason why I became my own independent provider for a lot of my services, including email and DNS. I can control what does and does not work. For some of my customers, I have made my servers able to play nice with Google so that they can import their emails through my network into Google, however I made this service optional because I prefer to host and store absolutely everything across an in-house platform across several different geographical locations.
Also, I've surgically removed a lot of the Google stuff from my phone, disabled all permissions to Facebook Messenger, because their TOS allow them to spy on your device at any time they so choose, without notice if you give these permissions to Messenger so that you can video call, take pictures, make phone calls, etc… It's also the reason why I now use PrivateVPN for all my shady business online. They're fully compatible with GT.ru, as I'm currently using them for such purposes and I'm seeing upload traffic.

I prefer apple because of the integration between devices, the app store, and the speed. Although android has more apps, that's because they don't have as tough a screening process as apple so apple's apps are generally higher quality and most apps come to apple first anyway. Also I find that games start up faster and run a lot more smoothly on apple devices than android ones. (I've had an android and recently switched to apple btw and most of my friends have androids).

I used iOS for years as I liked my phone just being an "extra" device. One I could back up through iTunes and restore to another phone and it be exactly the same.
However, I've now switched to Android as I appreciate the flexibility of being able to download any app even if not approved by Apple, and enjoy my "extra" device being able to do anything my computer can, really.

I also hate restrictions caused by Apple and love Android's freedom..
I think that Apple follows the same bad policy that also followed with Apple's computers..

The datacenter in the Utah is a NSA thing, don't confuse a secret intellicence agency with Google. xD
Telemetry is embedded in Google products as is in Microsoft products …
No big difference here :blownose: They are ALL bad apples ::) -

Android for sure. No IOS. IOS no innovation.

For me I use both Android and iOS…
But I prefer iOS, for the better app launch and everything else.
Android is free but slow. Even for my S7E. -

I was introduced to android first, but I have to say I prefer iOS.

I much prefer Android over iOS… Apple is very well known for cooperating with different agencies both in Canada and the USA. In fact, there have been a number of people in Canada alone who have had literally the entire contents of their whole device easily and willingly turned over to the authorities, without putting up any resistance, and in some cases, without even requiring a warrant to divulge that information. It was simply requested without any sort of legal process and voluntarily handed over, including live updates to keep track of a suspected crime in progress to use that information against the person, long before even having to seek a warrant for the arrest. The information in one such case that I can think of was used as their "probable cause" to arrest and detain first, THEN seek the warrant for custody. Granted, I don't intend on doing anything illegal, however having gone through a legal nightmare a few years back over something that I didn't even do, I'm certainly not about to give the wrong people anything that could be of any value to them if I can absolutely help it.
While Google does track certain things, they do not store anywhere NEAR as much information, and they go out of their way to put up as much of a fight as possible to resist having to cooperate with the authorities. That's part of why Google goes to great lengths to ensure that the powers that be simply cannot be contacted. Among the things that are not stored on Google but are stored if you have iOS include text messages, every single file that you've stored on your phone, all of your contacts (regardless of whether or not you use the cloud), and so, so much more.... I happen to know for a fact that in Canada, unless the phone is a Telus post-paid cell phone, once the text message is deleted from the device, it is gone forever, unless it can be retrieved from the other device that either sent you the message, or received the message from you.
Also, the different features that Android phones have to integrate into Google do come with alternatives that do not require you to use Google to make them work. If you use these options to steer clear of "the cloud", then the information is kept solely within your device. The same cannot be said about iOS products, as the ENTIRE phone is forcefully backed up to the cloud, which includes.... you guessed it.... All that information you were trying to keep OUT of the cloud.
Since I have been a person of interest by the authorities in my community in the past, this is my reason for choosing Google as sadly, being the lesser of the two evils.
