I like Apple a lot but… they do monetize you in more ways than people think they do.

And they are on their way to do it more.

i am not saying Google is better, nope they are worse.

​

But what most people think about Apple on that regard, is half truth.

As to removing apps and privacy on Android, out of the box Apple is better and you are right.

​

But the freedom Android gives means you can change and remove everything you want, and have total control of you privacy, it’s just that you need to put some effort in that, that’s why out of the box Apple is easier.

As for Windows same story, my Windows installation is more privacy friendly than MacOS, because you can do that.

But just like with Android, it doesn’t come out of the box, you need to put effort in it.

​

However I would argue that is much and much easier to do on Windows than on Android.

iOS is my daily driver, but Apple is not some sort of utopia, if anything Apple would want even more money, even if they absolutely don’t need it anymore, considering their financial size.
