Fair points all around. And by the way? I'm an android fan. Though Apple is more secure in some ways, I would much rather have control over my device.

Although to be fair, the next paragraph says, "Surprisingly, Google offers a similar deal. The company collects and uses your personal data for targeted advertising, but it doesn’t…
