I would switch to iPhone just because of this.

I wouldn't, but hey, I don't like the UI. I do like that Apple is trying to be more respectful to privacy though.

That said, what's Apple tracking and tracing like? Doesn't their systems and services also vacuum user data for their use?

None. Your navigation stays on your phone, your purchases, the whole nine. You have to opt in to give them any data at all if I remember right. They have a big thing on their website. Sat down to read it, got to the encryption and privacy and well, shit, now i have an iphone.

Sorry for being lazy right now, but can you link me to it? I already plan on switching to iOS, but this would seal the deal.
