      The nonexistence of alternatives doesn’t mean Apple isn’t just as bad as the rest.

        Ok, but the implication of your post is that we shouldn’t give Apple money because they’re a bad corporation. So is Google. Yet we require these products to function in modern society. So, what do you suggest?

          There doesn’t have to be any good option. The world doesn’t work that way. Smartphones exist largely to collect data from people.

            I’m not denying that, but your original comment was that especially Apple customers are bad.

              Because Apple people tend to think Apple is privacy focused and somehow less guilty than other brands. That is something particular about Apple’s customers, but not Apple itself. Apple itself is just another corporation doing corporate things.

                Not this guy. I just use Apple because the devices and experience are better for me. I’m under no delusions, nor should anyone else be.

        If you buy a Pixel, you’re still supporting Google. So miss me with that sanctimonious shit.

            No, I know exactly how Google makes money. And you’re giving it to them. Sure, you avoid their tracking, but if you think they sell their phones at a loss, you’re a fool. Good day.

          You can always get a used or refurbished device. It’s good for your wallet and for the planet.
