Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration
mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 weeks agoJust about. There used to be more, but if im honest, if it works in iOS then its a decent experience most of the time.
But my custom apps makes or breaks my phone. Its so convenient.

iOS is infinitely more polished than Android. It’s rather stable and at least the main notification system isn’t that bad for privacy.

Its terrible for security haha. We were able to 0 day it a couple of times without trying all that hard. So many CVEs that are repeatable. I wil admit the UI is phenominally better (in my opinion). And the official apps (as long as you dont want to do something specific) are perfect at what they do.
Android is a bit better but you can exploit it because people dont update their phones. Google is actually VERY good at keep those up to date…but if no one updates, its kinda a wash.
Again my opinion, im not too attached to either. They both suck in their own unique ways. #1 is you have to use their tool sets which is unique instead of any other computer system. Its such a hassle to keep up with as a software developer.

I was just talking about the notification system which doesn’t require something that uploads your location to Google 24/7
mesamunefire@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
ah ok. Well im not familiar with that other than push notifications, which you can set up outside of googles ecosystem….although everyone likes using firebase for some reason.

Really depends which spin of Android you have. I have a Nothing Phone 2 and the OS is arguably more polished than on my SO’s iPhone 14, which frequently has bugs, lag, and crashes. You can’t really generalise about Android when there are so many versions of it.
That being said I’ll probably be looking into Linux phones in the next few years because I’m tired of corporations trying to control my devices.

Well I’m using graphene and it’s so laggy and can’t keep more than one app open at a time, so.
Attacker94@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What phone, you must be running one of the first ones they made graphene for
R00bot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
Yeah GrapheneOS is open source bro. Probably doesn’t have full compatibility with your phone if I had to guess. That’s really not a like-for-like comparison to iOS.
markko@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Also running GrapheneOS (on an older phone) and this is not something I’ve ever experienced, nor seen as an issue in the forums.

Grapheme is smooth as can be for me and great for multitasking

It is risky to say anything positive about Apple here, true or not.
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Its not really a positive thing. More like bad and worse.
theherk@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I agree. But you phrased it positively, and for that you must pay with digital schmeckles.

How is the notification system better for privacy on iOS? On android you have notification groups to toggle and you can set which notifications show up on the lock screen and how much of them is visible there. The notification system is to me arguably the best designed thing on android and one of the worst on iOS
LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
I meant the backend sorry. Google Play services vs Apple’s stuff.
JustARaccoon@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Interesting, I’m not too familiar with how they work, what makes Apple’s more privacy-friendly than Google?
