apple: secure, evil, pure walled garden

android: insecure, a little less evil, barely a walled garden

I use android because I don't have several hundred dollars to spend on a phone.

The main problem with Android is that so many device makers don't issue security patches for more than a few months. Lineageos is actually a serious resolution to this problem, at least for major-ish devices, and not some weird ricer/hacker/tryhard meme, even though those are mostly the kinds of people that use it. My current phone only saw patches for a few months, and stopped getting them before KRACK (the wifi bug) happened, but I bought it because I knew Lineageos supported it and I would keep getting security updates after the manufacturer stopped caring.
