Why not trust Linux? No activation, full control over all the processes. Seems like a good solution for people who "care".

Sure, but that has nothing to do with the notion of trust we're talking about here.

What do you do? Windows world is worse. So is Android generally. Use Linux? How do you trust that? QubesOS? Pen and paper? If you walk outside, you’re on camera. Living off grid with no phone or computer seals the deal, but not very practical. I’m all about security and privacy, but everything is on balance with practically. If a three digit govt agency wants to find you, they have so many other ways than Apple.

At the end of the day it all still boils down to trust based on reputation, incentives and oversight. Openness is important but no panacea.

#16I am no connaisseur , just a guy who cares about privacy (in general and his in particular) who also happens to own an iPhone and wants to buy a Mac. This seems pretty troubling, as I as well as many I suppose, trust Apple and think that they're one of the good guys.

Can't argue with that.

#17How old is this? the state and details of disk encryption on both OSes is slightly unclear, but hopefully will become clearer when iOS 10.3 is released. 10.3 was released 9 months ago. And I find it hard to take seriously any article where every other sentence is bolded.

I feel like one may have to understand his preferences towards bitcoin, libertarianism, etc. though to truly get the deos vision to discern whether it's actually a better solution or a sleight of hand. I don't follow desantis or the bitcoin community closely enough to know.

Perhaps, but if poor UX prevents a user from using an ostensibly more secure platform, then security of said platform doesn’t enter into the consideration at all.
Please think about things before aimlessly countering someone's question.
