Apple vs Google
(only real answers)

✅ Apple phones are more Secure than Google Phones
✅ Google Computers are more Secure than Apple Computers, Apple are more usable (with any O/S running on them)
✅ " " " are the same Privacy as " " " the only difference is how you are taught to think (they both harvest your data, sell it for Ads, they have App controls that you are expected to understand and accept so Apps can harvest your data directly), the differences are so slight any of you likely have only 1 or 2 insignificantly tiny examples of differences
✅ Google Security Team/s are more Capable than Apple's who prefer to have brain washing and banning media do the work of keeping bad press away for them to stay out of headlines
✅ Google is more trust-worthy (focus on worthy, i.e. transparent) than Apple who prefer closed source, empty security patches, offensive treatment of researchers, lawsuits to prevent research and kill products that conduct said research which aims to enhance the Apple experience in ways Apple disagree with

macOS Sequoia is coming

It will further "secure" the platform

Security Vendors who should know better (like Palo Alto Networks) who rely on users to avoid macOS Gatekeeper (click to allow non-notarized binaries) will be completely locked out (like they are for customers who already prevent users on SOE's from accepting the prompts to run insecure programs)

If companies like PAN can't get this right, what hope are there for smaller apps?

Maybe that's a good thing for Apple?

When you buy the hardware you're barely renting it, you are more like an Apple employee, they manage your usage and monitor every micro activity you do, now they are controlling everything you plan to run on the device too - which makes the devices 100% in their control, the circle is now closed.

The only difference between consumers and employee's is the Apple employee doesn't pay (that is the next thing they will announce, employees to pay Apple seems to be the future plan at this rate)
