So, are Apple operating systems actually considerably better in terms of privacy? I’ve been considering making the switch for both privacy and security reasons, but I’m not really sure it’s worth the cost and hassle. I’m currently on an iPhone (recently switched because I had a Pixel 7 with… issues, but that’s longer story) and I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it to fully switch over to the Apple ecosystem.

    very high level, you should at least read up and consider it. the amount of attempted telemetry coming off our windows laptop is probably 5x our mac laptop. there’s a ton of variables in config, so i say 5x not as something scientific, but woah, half an order of magnitude.

    this is desktop - no iphone here so can’t speak to that, but suspect much less difference
