Recently got a pixel as a secondary work phone and was reminded that I actually kinda like android (my main is an iPhone). Problem is mostly that I don’t want an even higher level spyware device. Of course I could use graphene but I use Apple Pay, find my / AirTags regularly and I also would need to find good alternatives to iCloud, and photos which I honestly kind of like. I suppose I could possibly get a pixel watch and get around the pay limitations but maybe some users who have switches might have some general insight.
Edit: I guess my best option right now is to stick with my current plan of both devices and maybe see what oem graphene partners with and if that somehow changes anything
My recommendation is to keep both separate. Your work phone should NEVER be your personal phone.
Use you work phone at work or on a mission. Not outside, not at home, it does not matter what your contract says, what the law says is what’s important (so check locally, depends on jurisdictions).
Now IMHO both options such. Apple is closed source and Android provided by work is not customizable so you have no control over. If you want a more radically approach and are serious about privacy, reconsider both.
You can lead a horse to water…
Get a phone case with a credit card slot in the back and replace your cloud storage with Syncthing.

Hmm…
Alfred is disappointed.
It might be time to move on from the mass-surveillance-on-every-single-device style of object location tracking.
Are there localising/tracking bluetooth tags available which only connect to your network/devices?iphones are not more private than androids.
don’t believe apple marketing at face value.
I’m definitely skeptical of anything closed source in general but there isn’t too much on the contrary, so it’s just a matter of one company makes money on data and on doesn’t. I’m sure they both collect similar amounts of data though.
