Oh I didn't mean to sound like an ass. I don't really care what anyone uses and glad their are options. I've had apple as work phones. I've tried the pure Linux phones but had issues with carriers supporting them along with them not really working well.

Im no fan of Google. It's just that as far as user freedom you can easily download from outside of the playstore if something isn't there. I don't think you have a choice with iphone if they choose to can someone (correct me if I'm wrong)

But Google is keeping and selling more of your data so idk it's a balance scale with shit on both sides I guess.

My first smartphone was the iPhone 4 (if I remember right) and they removed Bitcoin wallets from their app store for a time. So that was the last one I had for personal use
