At the moment I am thinking about getting a new phone in the foreseeable future. I was long time using android, but switched to iOS 5 years ago because of the longer update period. Now also some android devices offer a longer update support of about 5 years. Now I am thinking about switching back to android.

But i am wondering: is there any big difference from a privacy perspective between iOS and android? I know you can go for custom roms on android that are focused on privacy which i also used in the past, but i am not planning on doing this in the future. So it would come down to stock android vs stock iOS. Any advice there or is all lost anyway?

    With Australian banks there doesn’t seem to be any problems, if you don’t install gplay, you won’t get notifications though. However I think there were some issues with other countries’ banks, but there’s a list somewhere on the GrapheneOS forums/GitHub for all tested banks.

    It really does, but unfortunately they simply have the most secure hardware of android phones. At least you’re just paying for the hardware, but don’t have to continue paying with your privacy (or pack of) if you get Graphene
