    You can always install F-Droid and side-load .apk on Android. Apple censors anything remotely negative about China, among other concerning positions. Neither mobile company is good, so why ditch Android entirely?

      I don’t think they implied that they would switch to Apple. They just want off android so bad they can’t wait for the new Linux mobile OS

      I love fdroid. I would sell it to the average user on the fact that the apps are adfree.

      As another user said, iOS allegedly has more privacy protections. Another issue I have with Google is they might use DRM to prevent modifying webpages. Which adblocking and other tracker blocking software need to do.
