I respect people's right to use apple products, but please stop asserting "privacy", big corps doesn't give a shit.

So where can my mother buy this excellent non-tracking phone?

She can’t. No one sells it.

Of course everyone is collecting a shitton of data. Out of the two (realistic) alternatives we have today, Apple has, by far, a better track record. Still bad, but they have far fewer incentives to be shitty than Google. Googles only incentive is to be shitty and sell ads. Pick your poison.

There's always a flip phone, they're coming back I hear.

Google had a better track record till then didn't.

but they have far fewer incentives Hard disagree. They just have better PR.

Apple and google are in the same market, selling the same stuff, both selling ads. Google's hardware being somewhat cheaper hardly makes their ads a more significant incentive.
