Android is better than iPhone. Having said that, Neither phone is worth much more than crap these days, both are made by the enemy. However, saying to use neither right now is like telling the average computer user to not use a Mac or Windows PC.
Sure, Linux, but my phone is a no-go with that. I can use Linux, but only one other person in 28 employees can do that. Not gonna fly.
Best we can do is minimize the worst (Google pixel phones, iPhones, etc), and seek out Freedom Friendly alternatives, which is kinda limited atm.
I'd say even with the linux distros people are using on their phones it's still not good enough. Unless you understand the kernel and device drivers intimately you're placing a ton of trust into the software to be doing what it says it's doing.
Example is green light that shows your camera is active is controlled in software. There's zero reason your camera cannot be recording and ALSO not illuminate the green light saying it's recording.
I'm not suggesting that Apple is "ok", what I am suggesting is that using google for anything at this point is for "special folks."

Not to mention Android is linux and many Linux kernel devs are Google employees.
Of course that being said, countries like China where Google is banned manage to degoogleify their stuff.
Then install Linux on an Android phone lol
