[NFBCS] Switch to iPhone?

[Brad Snyder]

When you consider that Google makes its money selling advertising, and everything the company does facilitates its efforts to gather user information so the company can sell targeted advertising, the entire Android platform itself is nothing more than spyware.

I’ve recently purchased an iPhone 12 pro and it is literally one of the best devices I have ever owned. I would highly recommend it. Apple doesn’t seem to be as buggy as android.

The privacy of Face ID and practically everything else with Apple is terrific. Switching from android to iOS in itself is a terrific privacy move. Google is horrible if you actually care about your privacy.

All of your apps are on iOS, but consider using native apps such as Apple mail instead of Microsoft outlook. This will be quicker and Apple mail or other apps being native and integrated will work much better than third-party apps for the most part. 

Thank you,
