Don't use Xiaomi, Huawei or other Chinese smart phone brands if you don't want to your information collected by those Chinese companies and the CCP.

That being said Google, Apple and other American companies collect your information too, maybe not as bad, just maybe.

We really need good free and open source OS options for smart phones. Like the GNU/Linux options available on desktops.

My Pinephone UBPorts edition is on order: https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-editio... . I expect it will be quite a bit unrefined initially but I hope to give it a fair try and contribute if possible.

Can you point to examples of Apple collecting your browsing behavior or other similar data?

Off-handedly casting Google and Apple in the same lot with CPC sponsored phone companies is absurd.

Maybe so, but you're not making much of an argument of it.

I will not be baited into distinguishing between the two. As noted, saying they are the same on its face. If you believe they are the same/similar, I encourage you to write an article about it and post it for a discussion here on HN. If you let me know, I’ll happily respond there. Otherwise, I will assume you agree with me.
