        yes. we all know.

        apple fanboys are the people who don’t think this shit happens to them.

        the only halfway private smartphones are unlocked androids that can be used with a degoogled OS. and even then.

          I say this as an Apple hater: this is a false narrative. Apple fanboys say that their devices are more private, not completely private, and they are (assuming a stock Android OS). That’s not really up for debate. The mistake you’re making is positing privacy as a binary concept. Privacy is a spectrum.

          All fanboys are alike. I just find it ridiculous to think that only android users are aware of privacy issues. I’ve used both, currently run an iPhone but with end to end encryption turned on. Yet I know that not all things are private.

      And the secure “lockdown” mode on iOS disables push notifications for exactly this reason. But the vast majority of people don’t use lockdown mode in their day to day, because it kills a lot of the functionality of the phone. Lockdown mode is intended for people who may actually be targeted by laser-focused hacking attempts. Politicians, celebrities, people with high security clearance, etc… It’s not something that the average person would use.
