    A pixel 7a with graphene OS. It’s a myth that iOS is more secure than android btw. Both are locked down enough to protect against most threats.

      Either one protects you from outside threats, but Android does allow you to do more damage on your own.

      If you’re smart enough to not install shady apps and give them the rights to absolutely everything, it doesn’t matter which one you use, but if your parents or grandparents are getting up there in age and are prone to just clicking on things that look like they should be clicked on, iOS might be safer for them (Android’s workflow for installing apps from untrusted sources is just too simple IMO).

        I’m a dev / data engineer. Often I hear the argument of, “but Android allows you to…”

        I don’t want to. Doesn’t matter what the end of the sentence is, I don’t want to. I love tinkering, but not with my phone. :D

          Same tbh. I’m a backend dev. I love tinkering. I have a desktop PC to tinker with, if I fuck up my Gentoo install, I’ll just boot into Windows or use my Macbook till I get it fixed. If I fuck up the software on my phone, I won’t be able to take phone calls for probably a couple of hours (if it’s a simple fuckup) to like half a day or more if I manage to fuck up the recovery or something.

          Ends up being that you need a secondary phone to tinker with, but I have little use for two phones, so I don’t keep them around much, I’d rather let someone else use my old phones because I don’t usually break them.
