    Dont get up from Google only to jump on Apple’s balls.
    Also your point is not valid because degoogling is possible with androids, but you can’t deapple an iphone. And btw many custom OSes dont require anything google no appstore or nothing. So what you’re complaining about has been solved and already out there

      Google is an advertisement company where you are the product, not the costumer. Big difference there.

          Well, maybe try to deal with both their customer service :) Google’s customer servers is primarily focused on people who buy space to put ads! Not people who buy their phones, hence the “abundance” of Google flagship retail stores. Their customer are businesses, their product is the consumer. I’m not sure how people here keep ignoring that google’s core business is online advertisements, not gadgets.

      I would not call an OS where you can’t really start any “big” app a success. If you can’t do anything with it, what’s the point?

      You can’t really degoogle a phone without sacrificing a lot of things. Most “degoogled” phones just use a compatibility layer that still gives google loads of infos

      I would much rather have neither of Apple or google, but having to chose, I prefer Apple, at least they’re not on every website I visit

      Btw you can “deapple” by jailbreaking but it becomes a huge pain, as degoogling is

      Finding a good phone with good specs, a good OS that is elegant and doesn’t track you at an acceptable price with all the features just isn’t possible
