Android!!

Neither, but if if I was forced to have a cellular device. It wouldn't be a Android or an Apple. I would go with a Linux phone

True Linux phones exist, you just have to find Them or build your own Linux cellphone OS.

I personally like the Ubuntu Touch cellphone or Lineage cellphone. Both are Google free and 100% customizable. Like if you don't want a phone contact app. You don't have to have it. You don't want location and GPS apps. You don't have to have them either.

What exactly constitutes a Linux phone?

First, let's make a technical caveat. Both iPhones and Android phones are, in a way, Linux phones, or at least related to Linux. Google built its Android operating system on top of AOSP, which is an open-source project based on the Linux kernel---the foundation of all Linux distributions. AOSP's code is free and available for anyone to modify and use for their own purposes. The version of Android you use on your phone, however, is closed-source. That means the modifications Google has made are proprietary and not publically available.

Plus added bonus for you nerds:

iOS and macOS are descendants of Unix (via the BSD kernel), which the Linux kernel is also based on. However, iOS is largely closed-source. Technically, then, both iOS and Android are in the same family tree as Linux. The key distinction is that neither preserves the free and open-source software tradition. So to be clear about what we mean by "Linux phone" let's define it as a smartphone with an operating system whose source code remains open-source. And these phones do exist.

@Spoiledbrat depends if there's long distance calls or not.

For that price you can have internet which means free phone calls and internet access. @HumanEarth

@Spoiledbrat once daughter moves out, I'm going back to not having Internet.

The only reason we have internet because my daughter moved back home during covid

I'll go back and disappear to off-line nothing

I have liked my iPads but I just had to replace mine and I don’t like some of the new setups , photos mostly can’t get where I want like my other iPads . It’s probably just me I know nothing about computers or how they actually work.

I resent the business model that is Apple, i have always felt that way. It is really anti-democratic. I will never buy any Apple product, thus in cell phones, i buy Android, which are open-architecture.

Apple iPhone, Mac computer.

I prefer an Apple, because Android doesn't have any vitamins, or nutritional value.

Android of course. I don't have the money to pay twice the amount to let Apple choose what features not to offer. I'll take them all cheaply and decide for myself which ones not to use.
