You’re ignoring all of the measures Apple implementatedin the 10 years since those Snowden leaks.
You’re also making a baseless claims that Apple knowingly participated with the NSA, which Apple denies indicating it was an inside threat actor working directly with the NSA without Apple’s knowledge.
Some data is stored in other providers clouds, Amazon and Google specifically and those clouds are the sources that were compromised. Apple has added end to end encryption to mitigate that.
For their own cloud services, the measures Apple goes to secure their servers is not trivial. They have employed strict chain of custody and it’s why they call out services that do their off device processes using Apple hardware.
Apple is working to build out their own cloud but anyone with basic knowledge understands that the hardware they manufacture isn’t the type used by cloud providers.
The changes in how containers work on Mac OS is because of their own internal work on using their own hardware for containers that are being used to expand their internal cloud because even Apple with their billion dollar contracts with built in penalities doesn’t trust Google.
Knowing what I know, I put Google dead last when it comes to my data. Microsoft and Amazon are several magnitudes more trustworthy and I don’t trust them either because they openly work with government agencies.
But sure, keep using Android because Apple isn’t perfect. Google appreciates you’re choosing to feed their algorithms directly.
as if apple isn’t doing most of the same. i’m ignoring it because their claims are irrelevant. they can’t prove anything either way because their code is closed and their devices are locked tight.
even if they truly cared beyond what they say in their marketing material, they also can’t say no to US three letter agencies, as also leaked by snowden.
their… code isn’t closed? please link me to their repository, so i can check ios for backdoors. i’ll wait.
also please notice i’m not discussing the merits of their choice to close it down here. i’m discussing their inability to show us they are truthful about their products being private.
bathes one in false comfort
what makes you think i’m comfortable with being spied on and manipulated by these vultures?
before attacking others personally, ask yourself who really wants false comfort. “oh, but apple doesn’t do it!” yeah right.
Some of the code is literally open sourced and available in public repositories. The rest requires one be a security researcher.
The comfort is in choosing android because they are both the same. This is a decision based on emotion rather than logic.
I’m going to hastily dissect the situation and how I’ve come to this conclusion. Mostly for my own sake. I do not expect you to accept any of what I am going to say.
The comfort I am describing is starts by first observing the location of this discussion, an Apple enthusiast group.
Further observation indicates a persistent attack posture towards the ideals of the group.
This being an enthusatist geoup, it’s unlikely you’ll convince anyone here. You also aren’t suggesting an alternative.
When your assertions are challenged you shift and twist rather than addresssing the challenges indicating you are not not interested in understanding or engaging with the group in fruitful discussion.
At this point it is safe to assume your chosen platform is Android.
Android exfiltrates data, you and are I not arguing otherwise.
Your claim is you want to control your data but your chosen platform does not reflect this. This indicates your decision is not based on logic.
Because you are not engaging with this group to expand your understanding of why others choose Apple not to offer alternatives but instead to question other’s decisions. From this one can presume this is for personal validation.
A person does not need to internally validate their logical decisions. The logic is self validating.
People do need to validate their emotional decisions. All indication is that this is why you are in this thread; emotional validation.
You seek comfort in your choice to be in your own words, “spied on and manipulated.” in the face of alternatives.
At no point was this discussion about anything more than your desire for emotional validation. This group’s very existence invalidated your emotions and comelled a response.
I thank you for helping with deepening thoughts I’ve been developing I bid you a good day.
apple has been doing that one for quite a while.
Not nearly in Google’s league
snowden leaked that they are on google’s league since the 2000’s

Their code isn’t closed.
Their devices are locked tight for security reasons. You can’t have it both ways on that one.
Your rebuttal is basically, nuh-on.
Threads like this remind me of the Asimov quote, that describes such rebuttals as, “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”
Anti-intellectualism is believing how the world works rather than bothering with a always expanding working theory as to how the world truely works.
A lazy approach that bathes one in false comfort by confirming all their biases.
A world view that cumulates into an air of superiority that is paper thin.

i asked for a way to find such repositories and see the fabled open source ios for myself.
not a wall of text berating me for daring to criticize the apparent god of phones.
There is absolutely a lesser of two evils here
that’d be a degoogled android, yes.
Not one of the two, but each to their own.
literally one of the two, and a way to actually make it a lesser evil instead of “just like the other one”.
Degoogled android is not one of Apple and Google
android is Google. degoogled android is modified Google, as i said.
