I've used iPhone for ~10 years but switched to Samsung/Android ~5 years ago. Massive upgrade. I still use Macbook, but on earphones, chargers, keyboard, mouse, monitor, pretty much in everything else Xiaomi wins over every Apple product. https://youtu.be/neIYdLysqlk?si=og4N6w4rQVAO_lzC

Funny, I used android for 10 years then switched to iPhone. :D I liked android for value and customization, but Apple seems to respect their user's privacy and autonomy much more than Google.

Aside from Apple's incredible marketing, I don't get this perspective. Is it all because Apple has a smaller ad business than Google?

No it has a lot more to do with how they've handled government requests to expose their customer's data. Even under extreme public pressure (essentially defending a blatant terrorist): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%E2%80%93FBI_encryption_dispute

So is the bar "a company that sometimes bends over for law enforcement and sometimes does not"? Are we keeping score of how many times each instance happened? What's the leaderboard looking like for Google?
