And don't have to go through an app store, creating an account, paying Apple, waiting for their opaque reviews and giving them 30% of whatever amount I make through my app.
Android has Firefox, thanks to Apple iOS doesn't.
Web apps by default talk to an outside server, native apps by default do not. Native apps will always be the more private by default option.
Huh? There is no permission prompt for native apps to be able to access the internet. By default they can (and definitely do!) talk to outside servers for analytics etc. It’s just that you can’t see them they way you do on the web.
Furthermore, native apps can be retained and often installed after they're no longer supported by their developer. Web apps vanish into the night, and leave you with nothing.
Do you? What would the average user install on their iPhone to allow such intervention? What’s the native equivalent of incognito mode?
I won’t argue with you in the retention point but that’s not really related to the privacy discussion at hand.
