Seem fair, considering the US keeps banning Chinese phones and apps, and that Apple is known to collect and sell data.
communism no iphone 😔
yes
COMMUNISM NO IPHONE
- Communism no iPhone
I’m honestly surprised there’s not more work to get off Windows/Apple worldwide, even by US aligned countries. It’s basically a black box (for you) inside your government that the US can peek into.
Android too, but at least the base is open source so you can audit that, and maybe build up a secure platform from there?
Appleheads across the world:
LITERALLY 1984!What are they going to use instead?
(Like, serious question, I want to know what the Chinese government recommends to avoid USican spyware.)
probably a phone manufactured in china, running a fork of android without any of Google’s proprietary software.
Huawei makes actually very nice devices.
There’s also Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo. I think OnePlus?
The Xiaomi 13 is awesome. I would gladly take one over an iPhone.
I use Xiaomi’s LED lightbulbs in my apartment. They’re equal build quality to the Phillips-Hue bulbs but less than 1/4th the price. The Xiaomi bulbs are also far more compatible with third party apps, including the hue app.
My guess is that they’re probably going to switch to Huawei phones. (But maybe if the local government is running on a budget they’re going to be using Xiaomi phones instead.)
Hmm, but the largest assembler of iPhones is Foxconn in China. Really makes you think
