Google Fi: My Experience

[Aloha_Shooter]

I wouldn't sign up for GoogleFi simply because it's Google. Those bastages are compiling more than enough information on me and mine without my permission. Verizon and AT&T make their money by selling overpriced "services". Apple makes their money by selling overpriced hardware. Google makes its money by selling you. I use Ting on my old phone as my backup service and for foreign travel (I don't give anyone overseas my regular use phone number, not hotels or anything).

I take it that, based on what you said, you think that Apple is NOT farming your information/data to use for their purposes?

They do some farming but nothing like Google, Facebook, and Amazon do. Farming your data is how Google makes money. Apple makes its cash hand-over-fist by charging an order of magnitude more than cost for their hardware.

If you think that Apple isn't doing EXACTLY what Google is you need to do more research. Saying Apple charges more for the same lack of privacy isn't a selling point.
