It should be noted that nobody on Android needs to "register" their phone
with anyone other than with the carrier.

Only Apple require locking your identity to the phone with the maker of the
phone. Google does not even need to know that you exist even for a Pixel.

Apple also murdered privacy in that they require your identity and 2FA
which even Google doesn't require. Hence privacy is impossible on iPhones.

Worse, Apple locks every app you download from their App Store to that ID!
Even for free apps!

Again, even Google doesn't stoop that low to murder your privacy.
Only Apple.

Anyone who claims iPhones are more private, is influenced by (brilliant)
Apple marketing, as only Apple murders privacy by requiring personal ID!
