I don't trust apple at all. Like not even a little bit. Never owned an apple anything. Not gonna lie though those M1 arm chips look pretty cool with the 20 hr battery life but not if I have to run mac os on it.
I'd agree with this. Out of Apple/Google/Microsoft, Apple is the one that makes most of it's money selling you hardware, vs selling your data.
I wouldn't trust any of them, but from a security standpoint OSX and iOS seem to be the best locked down under the hood.
Linux is probably the option with the most potential for security, but it's also possible to setup a system that is NOT secure. Something like a Pinebook or Pinephone is extremely interesting from a security perspective, but that is one hell of a rabbit hole to go down if you aren't already steeped in that world.
IMO Apple is the most trustworthy option in terms of privacy
LOL no.
Apple is a telemetry/privacy nightmare. The words "Apple" and "privacy" don't belong in the same sentence. They "refused" to help the FBI while reminding them -- behind closed doors -- that Apple (and Google) intentionally leave CVEs unpatched to provide alphabet agencies an attack surface. What you saw was a PR stunt.
Privilege escalation (which is what's required for unsigned code a la jailbreaking) is just one type of attack vector. Scrambling to lock you into a walled garden != patching CVEs that allow alphabet agencies unfettered access. WikiLeaks Vault 7 explains precisely what I'm talking about.
I think that entire thing was bullshit propaganda. I think snowden or the cia leaks pretty much suggested they can break into 100% of Apple products 100% of the time. They all use the same hardware. Android has to be built by the manufactures to run on that specific android the phone maker made on Android to run on that specific device resulting in many different setups for each phone. I think that whole thing was a movie script for normies to buy the only operating system they could break into 100% of the time. I could be wrong I don't have any insider knowledge it just didn't feel like a legit face off between corporate america and the government since they're essentially on the same team.

They refused to help the FBI get into the San Bernardino shooters recovered phone. Fucking glowies had to outsource the job to some Israeli hacker.

OK. That must be why jailbreaks take longer and longer to come out, or why there's a minor version release of iOS within days of each one.

Spez: sorry for your feelings.
