I'm asking for a friend who wants to make the switch from Android to Apple.
She lives in CT, is trying to leave an abusive marriage, she has health issues, too.
Up to now, her H and her both use Samsung Galaxy phones with Sprint.
She is even less tech savvy than I am, but recently she found out her phone is linked to her H's email, so are her contacts, and that he (very tech savvy guy) can pretty much access her phone and PC whenever he chooses.
He knows everything she's been accessing on her phone and PC.
I advised her to start by protecting her privacy, and inevitably, the conversation turned to Apple products.
I explained the whole Apple ID + Touch ID thing to her.
She really doesn't do much with a computer other than browsing, going on discussion forums, doing internet searches.
(I've already told her about Duck Duck Go VS Google)
At first I thought she might not need a Macbook, that she'd do well with an iPad + iPhone combo, though her vision is pretty bad so maybe the clarity of a Macbook might be best for her.
The obvious advantages of iPad + iPhone are portability: She'd never let her devices out of her sight, though a Macbook Air is pretty portable too.
Is it possible to hack an Apple ecosystem?
In her situation, which devices would you choose and why?
Money doesn't appear to be much of a factor, but she's really concerned about her privacy right now, she's afraid her H would discover whatever plans she makes to get out of her situation.
Also, I'm in California so it's not like I can just drive down the street to help her out.
How would you advise her?
