I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.
Ironically I own a Google device, but only to use an operating system that respects me and my choices. If Google was just providing device trees for their new phones...
Due to our favourite kind of software (banking apps) I am unable to use another kind of operating system at this point.
Also I don't sideload. I install software on a computer that I own, because I paid actual money for it.
