OK, you’ve already heard it is a garbage, but at least you can have a privacy with Apple products… Right?
You must have heard that Google is getting all your info. It's not just the search engine (since you have the alternative), or the email service (since you have the alternative). Android is their tool of choice, because you didn't have the alternative. That is, a cheap one…
Why would you choose an $800 iPhone over a fenomenal $100 Xiaomi Redmi 4X?
Because it is safe! FBI cannot break into it!
Are you sure? You believe corporate media? As much as they are corrupt and incompetent, breaking into iPhone is not the problem. When you hear Apple CEO Tim Cook defends Apple's encryption and privacy policies, you must have in mind he is trying to sell you his product. There's a news at “Russia Today” about the gadget in the hands of law enforcement:
A new investigation indicates that several different law enforcement agencies now have their hands on a tool called “GrayKey.” This small box has the power to unlock iPhones, completely by-passing encryption.

Well, that “news” has been old for more than two years already. During the investigation of San Bernardino massacre, Israeli mobile-forensics company called Cellebrite, have showcased a device that could unlock iPhone within minutes. John McAfee, creator of well known McAfee Antivirus, publicly bragged he can unlock the iPhone without help from Apple.

So, it's not safe. It probably was not safe since the original iPhone. Are we then forced to accept lose of privacy? Is there a solution?
DECENTRALIZATION & ENCRYPTION
