what else is there but hardware and software?
they both collect as much data as they possibly can, yeah
That's OEMs, not Google. AOSP doesn't come with anything installed.
Google is requiring registration with ID to publish on the app store. Apple always had that. The EU is forcing them to allow other app stores. Google will also have to do that.
Apple tried to do this and just failed miserably to make it work, as tech improves they will do it again
Ok, if you aren't interested in facts I guess we're done here...
yeah they're just trolling, no facts, just straight downvotes anythime you post anything of substance they can't defend against. They don't have a point and they know it.
Yes, they do it all in house. is that a surprise to you? Are you under the implication other brands do it all.in house, because I have news for you child.
There is no evidence of apple selling data to third parties or allowing third party apps to be preinstalled on their devices. There is also no carrier locked bootloader on any iPhone.
ANDROID devices (which are maintained by Google) come with an abundance of preinstalled apps thay you can't see without using a debloater (which current models have had that broken)
So youre arguing Apple has had a better app store considering they are adding support for sideloading where as google is removing it? Interesting switch up.
Anf still, Apple isn't doing it.
You haven't shown one fact. You simply posted opinionated responses to my comments.
You sound like a dwindeling smooth brain who just can't live knowing people think iOS just might be better.
edit:
You had to say 'guess you dont lile facts' or whatever while your evidence to data tracking was 'they both do it as much as they can' LMFAO Youre a joke. You get no more of my time child.
