   Oops. Arno said that, not Frank.   
      
   Anyway, almost nobody is intelligent enough to realize a Google Account is   
   not necessary on an Android phone for full functionality but an Apple   
   account is.   
      
   That's the major difference between the two platforms in terms of privacy.   
      
   1. iOS requires a mothership account for full functionality;   
   2. Android does not.
