Android phone or Iphone
| Android lets you customize it to your liking.
| LineageOS (Android) because privacy and security
| Also CopperHead OS which is even more privacy based.
| Actually, it depends on what you wanna do with it. If, for some reason, you wanna take more control of your devices (say, to limit ads and tracking, and eliminate preinstalled bloatware, etc.), I recommend you go with an Android device that's compatible with LineageOS, then install Lineage on your device. List of officially supported devices here: https://download.lineageos.org
| >>238471 Take note though that while Lineage supports scores of devices (even recently released ones), you can literally count the number of devices Copperhead supports with your fingers. In fact, they only support a handful of Nexus and Pixel devices. So this only an option if you can get your hands on an old Nexus device or front the cash for an expensive Pixel.
| Otherwise, iPhone if you can't be assed. They're probably less egregious than stock Android
| Android for root
| If you can find one for a good price, I'd recommend the OP5t. Comparable specs to the pixel for less. Just don't stick with OxygenOS. Get Lineage or some other ROM on XDA and use Magisk for root. For privacy, just skip installing Gapps, install f-droid, and flash Xposed via Magisk. Then get Xprivacy.
| Android
| Android, much more customization, I recommend the pixis 2
| Android, unless you don't care about the tech side (in which case what are you doing on /tech/?) and have a lot of money.
| Android. Because living inside a walled garden is not the way to go.
| >>685927 Magisk and Xposed are both open source, as well as XPrivacyLua, which is an updated/more compatible version of XPrivacy.
| Android, 100%.
| If you want to do anything with your phone besides the stuff cool kids do (fb, snapchat, shitty halfassed mobile games), android is a way to go. Actually I fail to see any advantages that ios has over android.
| >>241592 if icloud has your data hostage an iPhone can integrate with the "ecosystem" to access it. Or if three buttons are too many for you
| >>241819 icloud does not have your data hostage. It is always you who put it there because of inability to take proper decisions and because you cant control your ego when it wants to constantly show off.
| Iphone belongs in the itrashcan because it's overpriced overhyped exploitative garbage
| The truth is that if we let Apple sow the seeds of mammonism, we'll be reaping the crop for quite a long time. The takeaway message is that Apple, having learned a smattering of scientific terminology, uses it to build a totalitarian death machine, and that's why I say that it often starts with a preconceived story and then plugs in supposed “information” in order to create a somewhat believable tale.
| Don't lock urself on Apple island!
