What is better for privacy stock android or IOS?

but about huawei and other chinese os

When selling abroad they do. Huawei is forbidden from doing so, legally. And I think they’re trying to cut down on Google usage inside China, if they haven’t from the beginning.

to make it easier for normies (most apps depend on gplay services, and play store is the only trustworth app store with many apps)

or just google asking oem to include some of their apps, and pay them

If they don’t include gapps banking apps stop working, and even a lot of regular apps.

yup

There’s some Google security layer they need.

also the reason why avb (verified boot) even exists is because of netflix etc i heard

Depends on the bank
I am using lineage os without gaps, banking apps work, depends on the bank if they requite google play services and if they check safetynet status
You can always install magisk and microg and you are good to go

to make sure os havent been tampered

I’ve heard stories of bank apps still not working with mircog. But I heard Netflix works with it.

it isn’t a frankenstein due to the security features xd

linux on mobile xd

kdeconnect is on ios too these days xd

But, it can’t run in the background. Right?

Yes they check for safetynet status, even if you flash gaps on lineage os, sayteynet status will fail, you will need to root your device with magisk and magisk will override safteynet settings, so everything will work for sure

Not really viable for companies.

Ubuntu touch actually works for basic functionality

or can it? 😏

so why is it

it is due to vendor drivers xd

i know right, i’m mostly on ubuntu touch myself~

Because, it is.

Yep, it’s literally for individuals who wants to modify their phone or live without google, its possible without much drawbacks

thats one reason

Except the drawback of being a nerd. But that’s about it.

Same I use it time to time
