Google is far more privacy invasive than Apple, and Apple has an ecosystem that works fairly smoothly across devices. Yes, it infuriates me at times. But anything with the Google touch on it can be counted on to be spyware.

I do find everything on the desktop to be vastly more efficient, powerful, feature-full and stable than mobile (stable as in text box cache like this not vanishing with an app switch ) so I expect little from mobile except to be usable on the easy chair.

Do you really need more from mobile? Size matters!! The smaller the device, the more you pay for miniaturization.

I can show you a wireshark dump from a rooted android phone that has been degoogled, versus a wireshark dump from an iPhone. Guess which one sends less traffic back home.
I guess it depends on what the traffic consists of.

Please share (some).

And it's really an unfair comparison in that the android is white-hacked.

Linux Phone? Ready for prime time?

And a de-Googled Android phone can run how many apps that depend on Google Play Services?
