I don't think you can say the same for the iPhone.
The beauty is - you don't
have to do any of that on the iPhone. It's already done. The experience is extremely streamlined, dare I say "elegant" by comparison. Apple makes it very simple to blanket "opt out"; additionally nor Apple or Siri stores any user data - it's completely anonymous, and most important - the user is not "the product". Apple doesn't sell your data. Period.
It's cool that Microsoft has taken that approach to an extent, but buying an Android phone just to ape Microsoft software onto it seems massively counterintuitive IMHO. Also, what app store do you download apps from? Android Marketplace or Microsoft?
At the end of the day, I get that people are going to prefer the hardware (and software) that works for them, and I absolutely agree that Google/Android does many things extremely well, but there is special level of disdain that I have for Google/Alphabet/Android, and much of it stems from "the user being the product". But, I digress - we seem to be taking this thread way off topic. Oops!
