    From a strictly privacy standpoint is an iPhone a better option for non-techy folks?

      I’d say that depends on exactly what you’re trying to protect. They’re both large American companies with control over your data and your data and metadata will end up in their respective clouds. Push notifications will be handled by Google services if you use Android, but there’s an equivalent mechanism for iOS just that it uses their servers. They handle some details differently, but I don’t think any of those options deserve the word privacy.

      Yes, but Graphene is even better. The downside is that Graphene doesn’t currently support non-Google devices.
