Yes, I'm the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I'm sorry.

But other than that, I don't hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

Apple’s hardware sales are about 70% of revenue, whereas Google’s are more like 10%. That’s a lot of funding that doesn’t have to come from user data.

Harvesting user data is a symptom, mitm and taking advantage of users is the root of the problem.

Saying they don't profit much from your data is like saying, "they only kick you in the nuts a little bit."
