Why do you need a Google Account, Frank?

FACT:
a. Apple's iOS requires an intimate connection to the mothership;
b. Google's Android does not!

That's a huge difference in terms of privacy since an Android phone works
just fine without putting a Google Account on that phone.

An iPhone can't even make phone calls without first connecting to the
mothership and even after that, if you don't put a mothership account on
that iPhone, you can't even install apps so it's even more brain dead.

An Android phone works just fine WITHOUT a mothership account on it.
An iPhone does not.

Big difference in privacy.
