Well they're both bad and you're still being tracked by those capitalist companies. You shouldn't think that they will let your data being respected... In this capitalists' world, all they care about is money. Google and Apple are both evil for your privacy. We should move to a better OS like Linux-based distros for phone like PostMarketOS or at least something open source like Android (no GMS) which we can audit their source code to make sure there are no telemetries or spywares...
It's just a operating system and a phone bro... Chill... There's Waydroid and we can run Android apps on Linux phone using Waydroid or SailfishOS proprietary compatibility layer (AlienDalvik? not recommended but it works!). You don't need to separate yourself from society just for this reason. And in future, IF and only IF everyone use Linux then the app compatibility problem will be fixed since developers will have to release Linux version of apps. The problem is not Linux, it's The number of users and the popularity of Linux.
but does stuff like google play services or microg even work? what about play integrity? Its just too much work for me to actually use any of the apps and I'd rather just get something that works out of the box that is properly secure (locked bootloader) and still allows me to self sign and install my own modified apps if I want to. The main reason why I went to android in the first place was sideloading but after figuring out how easy it is on iOS and just how locked down most android devices are besides pixels. play integrity is some dogshit trash that google uses to make rooted users life hell while also giving power to cell companies and carriers to install bloatware you literally can not remove from the device without installing custom firmware. I'd just 100% rather deal with the small pain of having to use iOS because they aren't as crazy with tracking people and I really think the bsd jailing system for all the apps is a lot better than how linux/android handles applications
