alt Hacker News> people think they will get better privacy/security with a /e/ fairphone when it's actually much worse than an iPhone
Does /e/OS illegally collect users' data for ads and sends a lot of telemetry to their servers like Apple? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34299433, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26639261

Privacy and security from what is the question. From big tech or from criminals and governments that take your device and plug it into cellebrite machines?
I for one prefer to be protected from big tech. Sure GrapheneOS does both, but Apple does not.
It's amazing how people still fall for the marketing. Apple is an ad company, just like Google. Advertising and data collection is baked into their OS, store, and core apps. They're just trailing behind revenue-wise by a few years.
