Don't confuse marketing with how the company actually acts.

Do you want to fill in the details about how you see the company acting? It's a pretty glib statement otherwise.

I will fill in..

Google never "sells" your data to third parties. They keep the data themselves for advertisement purpose. On the contrary, apple shares any collected data with advertisement partners. Apple fanboys don't realize this.

Apart from agressive and deceptive marketing, Apple is a shitty company that asserts patents on rounded corners of phones and optional chaining in programming languages (Swift). They are objectively more evil than Google in my book.

Apparently I am biased. I would not have been in CSE if Google didn't commoditize the market. My first encounter to programming was on an Android terminal. But that's another story.

None of that is true, aside from maybe your first encounter with programming.

Bullshit.

Read Apple privacy policy properly. They share data with "advertising partners".

Apple sued Samsung for billions on a ridiculous patent case on rounded corners in smartphones.

Apple patented optional chaining in Swift. Although there is lot of prior art, and the thing is fucking obvious for any PL designer.

People like to shit on Google. But Apple is just more evil than Google any given day.
