It's surprising that teenagers are uncomfortable using a surveillance device created by the largest advertising company in the world. Our friends at Alphabet Inc simply want to monitor everything you search for and all your communication because they care and want to keep you safe.
You word this like apple doesn't do deceiving stuff themselves on the same level
They are definitely both pretty terrible, pick your poison I guess. Apple will gouge your eyes out with overpriced hardware and Alphabet (Google) will spy and you and sell your data. I don't like either, but faced with the choice I'd rather pay more for my phone and avoid Google's surveillance capitalism empire as much as possible. If you don't mind advertisements and privacy isn't important Google is probably a better choice.
