You're blaming smartphones for problem that exists because of the Internet. If smartphones didn't render computers irrelevant to most people, all this "bad app" stuff would have happened on computers.

And the computers that don't have "bad apps" are hacked and encrypted by ransomware. Is that better?

Spyware is older than smartphones.

Spyware is older than smartphones, but back then we called it "spyware", not "ooh, the latest Android!".

Apple is literally going to spy on you... and then report you to the authorities.

I'd rather give all of my DNA to an advertising company.

Fine, "the latest iPhone" then. If you thought that was some sort of Android-vs-Apple remark then you have missed the point.
