    Unless you flash your own Android roms you don’t control your phone neither

    And tbh I trust Apple significantly more than phone carriers and android manufacturers when it comes to my device and its software

        The article directly states that some of these restrictions are for security purposes.

        Freedom and security are quintessential partners across many spheres of life and that is indeed the relationship being discussed here

        Do you verify each custom rom is safe and has no malicious code?

        I used to flash roms all the time…it’s really mostly for fun and I don’t have time for that anymore

        iOS is safe, secure, and everything works as is and that’s what matters to me and most people in real life

          Do you verify every software about jailbreaking and the ones you install via jailbreaking is safe and has no malicious code?

          Also, if you really want security; you might as well install GrapheneOS. It’s Open source, and focused A LOT towards security and safety. (with a hint of privacy)

            I don’t jailbreak my phone anymore for that exact reason. My personal phone is simply not for playing with anymore. Especially now that it’s connected to financial and confidential information.

            There is no perfect security but iOS is by far the best preconfigured option for the ordinary person.

            Apart from that the real most important thing is for everyone to always practice basic privacy and security hygiene
