MODERATORS
Recommending to move to ios from android isn't really good advice.
Oof, seriously. And /e/os is an odd recommendation over graphene.
GrapheneOS is only available for Pixel phones, so maybe that's why they suggest /e/os.
... Which is the device they specifically mention regarding /e/os in the article.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The choose is:
Apple iOS: Propably being spied by manufacturer, can be spied by NSA, can't do anything to improve this.
Google Android: Know you're spied by Google, know you're spied by manufacturer, know you're spied by third-party, can be spied by NSA. But most of times you can cut them all (except NSA) off.
I’m no expert, but that sounds about right, unless you de-Google your Android, which I have no experience with, never having used Android myself.
