You can use Android without Google. You can’t use iOS without Apple these days.
On hardware such as a Pixel, the security difference is arguable.
Android is also more free. You can install an APK without a computer.

I find it hard to believe that a random (new) OS can devote the same kind of resources to security that a $2 trillion company can.

What’s random or new about the Android Open Source Project? CopperheadOS (the hardening work) has been going for 5 years.
Apple seems to leave most of its money in cash, has never deployed end to end encryption in its cloud services and has baked iCloud throughout.

Copperhead is dead. is the new project by the original developer . Copperhead is just stealing source code.

You're just selling a proprietary project forked from our code in violation of the licenses. You're supporting a company that's anti-open-source and is waging a nasty war against the open source project they depend on. It's hard to take a proprietary ripoff seriously.

Take it to the courts, Daniel. We are not interested in your nonsense here on Twitter.
Time would be better spent improving the performance of your operating system and removing the bugs.

It's not nonsense. You're scammers tricking people into buying an expensive product that's less private and secure than AOSP. You sell a product with DRM and tracking in the Updater app which makes it possible to target users, which is definitely something Copperhead would do.

CopperheadOS does not have the September security update. It's October. CopperheadOS is based on the Android 10 and is missing the substantial privacy and security improvements in Android 11. CopperheadOS has DRM and tracking enabling users to be targeted with malicious updates.

It's nothing more than a fork of my legacy code without any real work on privacy and security. Copperhead is fraudulently claiming credit for my work. The project started in 2014, and included my work from even earlier. Copperhead was founded in late 2015 and does not own it.

There was never any copyright assignment or attribution to Copperhead. You're illegally using my code against the license terms. You're just tricking people into buying an expensive product for profit. It's nothing more than a very obvious scam. Yet another fake secure phone.
