It's the only reason stopping me from getting an Android phone. I think Apple is better on privacy.

Haha, but in Apple case, you can't even see the code, dude.

You realize the entirety of Google Play Services is closed source, right?

Woops... well, but at least Android core is not, which is better than "everything close" (Apple).

How would that be better? If there is any code that they don't want to see, they would just not show you.

Android and ios are both completely opaque operating systems... stop pretending they are not.

You would be surprised how little of your Android phone is actually open-source code.

At least is better than 100% closed (Apple).

You can't even see the code for most Android OEM phones either.

I'm choosing the lesser of two evils here, glad you downvoted me.
