Hey this isnt related to this video but your video about setting up a google authenticator app might be misinforming people.

[@Poweredbylinux]

I'm starting to question Apple's honesty around privacy. I pay for Apple One Priemer and have noticed targeted ads in their News App and in the Apple TV app. Plus Google is the default search engine in Safari. It's a financial benefit to Apple in the "Partnership" with Google. I also question whether or not Apple is making money off of our biometrics via the Apple Watch. Apple claims our health data is private, but it's customers can opt into research. My guess is that Apple isn't giving that information away for free. It's pure speculation, but they're in the business to make money and they collect a TON of telemetry data on us. From biometrics, to what apps you use the most, to where you are going. Again, I don't think Apple is as forthcoming as they portray themselves to be.

[@JonathanCentifanto]

The fact that Apple was going full steam ahead with the ICloud photo scanning and only stopped when it got leaked, tells me that they aren't as invested in your security as they claim. Also, the fact that they force users to use unencrypted SMS instead of encrypted RCS when messaging non-iOS devices is super ironic. I'm of the opinion that Android and iOS are pretty much equally secure if you are smart with your device.

[@igooog]

Apple prevents tracking from non-Apple sources. They do this so they have exclusive access to that same tracking data they can sell to advertisers. It's not for your privacy, it's for their profit.

I’m an iOS user all the way. The integration across the ecosystem is amazing. I feel like Apple has an honest interest in maintaining user privacy and don’t mind that they use that as a selling point. I’ve had Android phones in the past. They provided a good experience. However, Google is in the business of knowing user data to provide a personalized ad experience, since the vast majority of Google products are ad supported. Google is in the ad business, and for that to succeed they need to know user data. Now, my trust level is higher with Google than it is with, say, Facebook, but my trust level with Apple is higher than with Google. Usually I’m all about Linux, and I use Linux on daily basis, but I don’t want to tinker with my smartphone like I do with my desktop or laptop, so I stick with iOS.

[@rmaha1965]

I'm team Apple all the way as far as privacy and security goes for several reasons. I recall that several years ago the government tried to coerce Apple into building a backdoor "master key" that can access any device at any time. Apple fought back saying that the would compromise a key feature of their products. Also, most secure data is not on Apple servers but kept on the phone. Google hands over customer data, it seems, to anyone at any time for any reason. Also, I tried an interesting experiment where a friend has a Galaxy phone and it we put in to the table next to an iPhone both with the lock screen on. Then we started talking about an obscure subject like "Gee I'd really like to go on an Alaska cruise" and we said it 4-5 times. Guess what he started seeing in his feed too after? Adverts to Alaska cruises. So while the Android world has much more innovative hardware (yes I've been tempted), I wouldn't touch any of them given the risks.

In this day and age, with social media and how advanced we are on the Internet you are absolutely nuts if security is not the top of your concern, but for some people it’s actually not. I guess it depends on what you’re doing on your phone. If you’re looking for customization, gaming, etc. then sure, there’s more of that on android, so I guess security is not that big of a deal for you; most likely you’re using third-party apps anyway. I have an apple 15+ and I absolutely love it❤ I have it customized with pictures, daily widgets, and apps that I use, and it gets the job done for me, as far as phone use, and what I need it for. In my opinion, Samsung can be the biggest and the best but if someone hacks into your phone and steals your identity or whatever they’re looking for than all that customization, and everything else, is pointless.

Last I heard they did implement the scanning though. I don't want any company scanning my personal files no matter what reason they give. Unfortunately there isn't a good option for a modern mobile device that doesn't invade the hell out of your privacy

[@theNimboo]

I consider iPhone to be far less secure for two reasons. 1 - Apple has proven they can change their mind at a notice. Gone is the Apple who refused to unlock a phone for the FBI. Now Apple willingly shut out apps during the Hong Kong protests at China's request. And Apple continues to allow China access to and control over apps. These things happened AFTER people already owned iphones over there. So they bought something they thought was secure, and then Apple just undoes it. Distgusting. 2 - Apple considered scanning local devices for illegal pictures. I don't give a shit what the crime was they were thinking of scanning for, the terrifying thing is that they considered it at all. Once again, just like above, people who had bought a device would have suddenly had a different device than the one they bought just because Apple changed their minds about something. Think of the fucking precedent that would have set. First they scan for CSAM, next thing you know it thanks to AI and image recognition technology they also scan your photos for firearms, pirated movies, music, drugs, you fucking name it. Hell, now that your device is basically a snitch spy tool why not fucking use Apple maps to report you to the police if you run a red light or jay walk? So ya, if you think Apple is secure you aren't Chinese lmao. Apple is only as secure as mass public sentiment. If people in the future become more ok with Apple devices reporting you for crimes, then suddenly they are a police state tool. The only reason Apple changed their minds about the scanning was because of the pushback. So ya, no idea how you could be delusional enough to think your device is secure.

answer for 99.9% of the population: it doesn't matter.. use common sense. if you put sensitive data on a phone or any device, secure it according to its sensitivity, whether it be password protection, encryption, etc. and if it's that sensitive that you even worry about it after that, then don't put it on any device or at least not one connected to any network whatsoever. what is YOUR threat model? if you're spending your time worrying and your situation is such that nobody really cares about you or your personal info (aside from marketers and fraudsters), then you're spending precious moments of your time trying to safeguard things for no good reason and wasting your life away doing it, while also enduring the inconveniences that come from doing it.

[@StefanUrkel]

@@Jane_Moss I now use a Pixel 6, since Best Buy recently had the TMobile model as an upgrade for $200 without any contract. Had it unlocked and installed GrapheneOS on it. It doesn't install unnecessary apps I don't use, lets me have a bit more control privacy and security settings, and feels less invasive. I have separate user profiles for everyday tasks (web browsing, youtube using a 3rd party app that bypasses the ads, etc.) and for banking. But that's a personal choice to go through those hoops. It works well for me so far. It's not better than an iPhone 13/14 Pro Max or Samsung S22 Ultra, but it does what I need out of a phone while paying as little as possible. But for most people, I would just go with an iPhone honestly. I just wanted a little more control over certain things and be not as locked into Apple's ecosystem. But iPhone does pretty good when it comes to security and privacy while not to the point of being inconvenient.

GrapheneOS is very usable, I've even convinced 2 of my moms friends to start using it. My mom is still an iPhone user sadly. There are some pain points on GrapheneOS which can eaisly be fixed, it just requires the initial setup. Like the default messenger, keyboard, etc. Those apps all suck, install Microsoft SwiftType then disable network access so it cant phone home. Stuff like this. When I setup GrapheneOS for normies I try to make it as convenient as possible knowing they are still getting a MASSIVE privacy & security boost over stock Android, which is still better than iOS. For me security & privacy is king.

It’s actually a podcast you can listen to.

I dont get why people are pissed off just cuz a company knows what videos you watch for research purposes

[@portman8909]

Apple offers 6 years of secruity updates for iPhones. Android usually only 3 years. For that reason as far as security longevity Apple is more secure.

Samsung has 5 /6 years of security not sure

If those companies concerns about people privacy, So why they make digital contracts and they change it constantly and if we don't agree the highe price device's will not be usable ,So they don't sell as the device they sell the operating systems and contract to use our Datas and guide us to buy things we don't need and spend our money on companies ads to buy products.

[@AllThingsSecured]

If you don’t believe in their claim to privacy, don’t buy the product!

[@shubhamdwivedi7766]

Some phones running degooglified version of OS can overtake iPhones in security and privacy. But they will be limited without google services so the only option is to use open source software on it. In this category iphone doesn't have upper hand because you can only install through app store. These day iphones are also getting hacked more, with third party software iphones aren't that secured.

[@samerabdallah82]

Most big businesses use ios apple because of more security than Android.

[@kimberlyforeman605]

Iphone definitely wins

[@TeskoMilk]

😂 sure bro 🤣

[@macbitz]

For me it's an easy decision because with Google *YOU* are the product, they have to collect your data, sell/share it and make money that way. Apple makes its money by selling hardware, services and taking a generous cut from app sales, not by selling its users’ data or running ads. Thing is though, it's YOUR choice, no-one is forcing you to use either.

[@Thatbeardedguy86]

This is a fallacy. Apple just introduced more ads to Apple products and apps. They're slowly rolling out more and more. Most people just arent actually paying attention or reading the user agreements.

[@ZombieLincoln666]

@@Thatbeardedguy86No Apple only uses ads for the App Store. Google is literally an advertising company

Hi Josh, I look forward to watching this in more detail. Would you please be kind enough to add Latin American Spanish subtitles? Thanks so much for your consideration.

iPhone is more secure, they have been know for being secure, but with there thoughts and latest updates like being able to read through people's photos etc, is a big privacy breach. iOS is also more known to getting 0 day hacks though. I personally use Android, but it isn't as secure on certain things. Google sells your information, to give you more ads. I use modded apps on Android to block ads on everything on my phone, including Adguard DNS. Android is more customizable, and more flexible with what you do. Android also has another bad security risk, right out of the play store. There are quite of few malware and adware apps inside of the play store. You just got to be careful with what you are doing.

[@JaquaviousDamian]

Custom roms could be good for you

[@Electrifize]

What about now with Knox vault and Knox suite released?

[@CoolTatts]

I don't think Apple "perfects" over time. They just make micro updates to optimize profits. Always have but then gas light everyone to think slow progress is the best. Even when the change is only logical to implement quickly.

[@adnanhuda6238]

Both company is same. Anyone can use a phone number and take your info in just 5 mins. It's so simple to do that. Technically there's no privacy.

[@AllThingsSecured]

Wow, that’s a very sad world you live in.
