Both iPhones and MacBooks (to a lesser extent) rely on US services provided by Apple. They (techically) can execute arbitrary code on your devices if you have auto-update enabled (and probably even if not). They’re almost definitely spying on you, your habits, your decisions etc.
To be fair (as a Samsung Android and MacBook user), so do nearly all phones altogether. On a computer, you can just install Linux to have a Microsoft/Google/Apple-free OS. But nearly all smartphones run Android (if not iOS).
I guess then that we need more Linux phone development.
Good for you!
Oh… 😔
Getting off US services is probably the more important part.

I mean once you switch off from key things like email, calendar, and cloud storage, then it’s a lot easier to move over to a different device.
