iPhone = Not perfect but better than all comparable alternatives

Perhaps the biggest advantage of the iPhone, aside from Apple making most of their money selling real products not your data, is that every concern he had was accompanied by a setting to disable it

These settings tend to magically change in your disadvantage after you update some software or click yes somewhere when you weren't paying attention.

This is the reason why I have a certain degree of confidence in Apple’s privacy aspirations. Apple makes their money primarily by selling cool stuff to end users. Their business model heavily disincentives mass tracking.

Google and Meta couldn’t ever be as privacy-friendly as Apple, due to their business models.

Every concern he had that wasn't based on fabrication, yes.

Airplane mode leaves the cellular radio on? Not according to signal tests!
