Fair enough.

they have been siphoning features off each other for so long
Mostly Apple doing that (they just invented the Pixel's "call screen" feature yesterday), but you're not wrong.
the differences are only splitting hairs imo.
Not really. Outside of "black glass slab with big cameras", they differ quite a bit.
What differences do you actually want to know? I'm genuinely happy to explain and show side-by-sides if needed.
Tell me you've never used an iPhone without telling me.
I own and use both every day. Not even the UX is the same. They are not even close.
I'm aware, but the person I responded to specifically mentioned F-Droid, which is Android-only.
All tech companies threw money at Taco Don, or at least pandered to him/his admin.
I have both. One for work. Use both everyday.
Same here, personal Pixel + work-issued iPhone. I use Linux ^btw^ and Android for the most part, but my wife has used almost exclusively Apple devices since college; in addition to her iPhone 16PM, she also has a Macbook (A1706 lol) and an 27" Retina iMac (last Intel model).
Safe to say I'm very familiar with Apple's ecosystem and user interfaces.
Which brings me to my point: every time I come into these threads, I can always tell who's only ever used one and not the other. They aren't the same, they both have bugs, and both suck up your data in stock form.

See, that was your first problem. This isn't team sports.
But I can’t personally look past Sundar Pichai being directly at Trump’s inauguration in the front row
Did you not see Tim Cook in the same section?
If you really want to increase your privacy, you're gonna need to use a Pixel device loaded with a custom ROM such as Graphene OS or Calyx OS. Or none at all.
Convenience wins out 99% of the time. Why carry a pen/paper when one can use the same device they already carry around? Hell, I don't even use pen/paper anymore because my phone handles all that for me.
That said, I did set up some infrastructure at home that I use to store as much of my private data as possible.
I don't even need to follow that link to know what this is
Not everyone uses Android devices.
Edit: do you people not understand context? The person I replied to specifically mentioned F-Droid, which is ANDROID ONLY.
So, basically what they're already starting to do?
