Get an iPhone. Android and iOS are equivalent, while Apple’s revenue is overwhelmingly based on hardware and services, unlike Google’s revenue which is overwhelmingly based on advertising and tracking.
Apple sells your traffic to Google for tens of billions of dollars. Of course they're not leaving the equivalent money on the table, they just hope people will be fooled by the indirection.
HN ist not "most users". Yes they both have apps, an icon grid, a swipe down notification panel... but there are oceans of difference beyond that surface. HN is always full of new ones.
