Thank you! I had an argument with some streamer who said Apple are the best phones for privacy reasons, talking about the (IMO) sham case about feds not being able to access iPhone data and all I had at the moment was how corporations don't care about you and there is no oversight so we are taking them at their word when they say they won't spy on us. :thumbs up:
