I have Apple and Android phones.

I have a specific google account for my Android phones specifically because you can’t do anything on an Android without logging in. iPhones still work as phones just without cloud storage.

Maybe I'm missing something here but what can't you do on Android without logging in (other than Google services of course)? You can download apps to do pretty much anything you want without even touching the Play Store, as far as I'm aware you need an iCloud account to download any apps on an iPhone.

Yea, not sure what he's talking about. You can choose not to sign into Google and use the web browser to install either fdroid or Aurora as the app store. Pretty sure you need to sign into iTunes to use the apple app store and cannot install any ipa?'s.
