It depends on whether you're using apps that require Play Integrity attestation, like some banking apps do.

If that's the case, consider the humble iPhone!

Oh, yeah. Absolutely. No ethical consumption under capitalism, amirite?

At least with Google they don't make the cornerstone of their branding lies (we are super focused on YOUR privacy), and you actually have some choice in how you use your phone.
