    It depends in what you define as “mainstream” in my personal pov I would prefer to go for degoogled rooted AOSP for privacy concerns if you know how to use it there aren’t anything better than it out there.

      I mean, of course, yeah. By mainstream I mean what your average consumer would purchase and use. They almost certainly will not be rooting a device

      Nobody would define that as mainstream.

        I believe it depends on what exactly someone defines as mainstream, for me using degoogled AOSP it’s something normal idk if it’s mainstream but what exactly it’s mainstream depends on the POV don’t you believe? But in my humble POV definitely Apple it’s not exactly all rainbows about privacy and security, unless you don’t mind your “encrypted” stuff being seen by the CIA and the NSA of course.

      Rooted, degoogled AOSP is definitively not “mainstream”. Mainstream to me means something you can but off the shelf and start using without having to modify it.

      Are you kidding man? The options are things you can buy off the shelf and turn on.

      If you are rooting, configuring etc you are off the mainstream

        There is nothing what you can buy out of the shelf and turn it on which respect your privacy and security at all wo a minimum effort and knowledge by the user, nor apple nor google are trustworthy at all, I mean if you will use their “encrypted” clouds to storage pics of your fat wife in them there is no problem but I wouldn’t recommend any of those big corps spyware out of the shelf to anyone involved into politics or really concerned about their privacy at all.

  Well, we know they’re not, but the people that eat up all the ads Apple makes about their shallow privacy features you have to manually turn on don’t.
