Any phone that spies on you is evil. Any phone that advertises to you is evil. Apple spies on you and advertises to you. Therefore, Apple is evil. Google is evil too. But that doesn’t let Apple get a free pass for their evil actions.
People accept spying and advertising on their phones so much, that they actually act like either of these things are acceptable. The user agreements that force you to accept spying and advertising on your phone should be illegal. There needs to be a free option that allows you to opt-out of both. You pay for the phone when you purchase it and you should have full and free control of it after that. The seller’s revenue stream needs to stop after you pay for your phone, unless you opt-in to something else from them.
