They are both now on the same level. Both iPhone and Android now allow sideloading of apps of “trusted” developers, so developers verified by Google/Apple.

So in your world, a completely locked down phone is better than a phone that you can easily open up again by flashing a ROM or replacing Gservices for MicroG with adb + Magisk?

not every android phone’s hardware even allows installing custom ROMs, as far as i’m aware of. and even if the phone technically does allow it, that doesn’t mean that any good custom ROMs are even available for it. so the issue is a bit more difficult than that.

Adb can uninstall Gservices and Magisk has a MicroG module
