    I was so hyped when the EU pressured Apple into allowing external software on Apple devices.

    Apple killed that hype making the change EU only, problem is I’m encapsulated in the walled garden with an iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, Air Tags, HomePods.

    Thinking of getting a second phone Android based to partially-escape the garden but if I ditch my iPhone all hell will break loose network wise.

        Yeah I was looking into Linux based mobile OS’s and I’ve come to the consensus that hardware selection is very limited.

        I was very interested in GrapheneOS but unfortunately it’s for Pixel phones only.

      I was you up until 3 months ago. I went nuclear and focused on the more open source side of android and have been so much happier for it. Sold everything to afford the changes.

      Sorry but the only way out of that is to stop buying apple products

      I get the design choice, it looks nice, but the hardware is rather trashy and both hardware and software are hostile to it’s users. That won’t ever change
