    I am really jealous being an android user that Apple usually have this things running on their own devices with more privacy in mind. But I just can’t accept the close garden Apple push.

      They do say that they have privacy in mind. And they are also collecting the same data of their users as Google. Don’t be too jealous, they suck just as much as your next Android-Phone company. But with a higher price tag and a walled garden.

        They’re both bad, but Apple is clearly less bad about privacy than most big hardware or software companies by far.

      I would change to apple if it weren’t for a few annoying bits, mostly to do with the walled garden. Like the appletv I have has a terrible input for typing unless you have an iPhone…so now I want neither.

          Yeah but android is owned by an advertising company, all they want is data. Apple has a better system and less need to push for more data.

            But I can removed them instead Apple if they want to track you cant remove it from there. Even on their secure mode the DNS was reaching to Apple servers.

            Apple is also an advertizing company, and walled garden ecosystem makes it harder to avoid its reach.

        I’m in the same boat, but it seems to be some things they’re going to change in 2024. Namely, sideloading apps, actual Firefox with add-ons, and the ability to actually move app icons wherever I want on the home screen (not sure if that’ll change ever).

        They’ve already gone to USB-C, which was the main reason I never would have switched over.

          Sideloading’s possible and surprisingly easy on iOS even for non-technical folks, I use AltStore but I thinks there’s other options. Don’t know what I’d without uYou+ or TikTok LRD

      Funny that you mention it, a few months ago when updating stuff I got a new feature on my Android phone… Offline subtitle generation based on audio, just realtime generated from anything outputing sound on my phone.

      A Google search suggests this might be an older feature - not sure if my phone didn’t support it, or if I maybe just missed it, or if they added a more obvious button.

      Google has a separate app for that stuff, called Private Compute Services. Right now it’s nothing like an offline Google assistant replacement, but I thought it’s really nice to have that stuff available without relying on internet access.
