Marginally better privacy, waaaaaaay better marketing.

Which is funny because google is the advertising company.




Google has great advertising - they are just not marketing TO you like Apple is :-D


very good point!


I mean, to be fair, Google grew up just trying to get us to click on things. Apple had to convince people to part with sums of money for lumps of metal and plastic with lightning in them.

Apple probably had a bigger budget for that sort of thing from the beginning, thus creating a proper culture. Google, probably not so much.
