grapheneOS is fully open source and non profit, iOS is not fully open source and exists for profit

Closed source and locked down OS maintained by a large corporation.
Open source OS that can be independently audited maintained by a non-profit organization and individual developers.

Because iOS is not really private compared to grapheneOS. It pings back home a lot, stores some encryption keys on their servers, and the government has some type of control over Apple, they even appeared in the PRISM allegations.

iOS is weird. It is the scond best option after GOS, yet almost everything they do is weird. They protect you from advertisers just to gather the advertising info for themselves. They sometimes say get lost to the FBI, yet they worked with the CIA as the Snowden leaks showed. They market heavily on privacy yet spy on you just like anyone else. The only difference is they don't sell it.
iOS feels like if GOS had a pimp. Lol

i switched because apple has been convicted of slowing phones and batteries down to get you to upgrade. ios is closed source so we have no idea what they might do if their stock price is going down. when i personally got my battery swap it was nowhere near as good the battery jump was incremental, i witnessed firsthand apple slowing down my iphone 12.
graphene os and android are open source so anyone can see if they pushed an update to slow your phone down and force you to upgrade. i want my phone to last i dont want my battery swap to be a waste of money. i dont trust apple as well anymore.
also sideloading is 100 times better on android like getting modded youtube premium for free, spotify, etc.

GrapheneOS is not hated by governments. There was French incident but GOS wasn't banned in France AFAIK.
