So then, in 194 days, Android will be an inferior version of iOS and you may as well just switch to Apple because their devices have a better security posture.
No, because you can literally use an alt app store
“Install F-Droid ↗ on your Android device(s). The more people that use alternative app marketplaces, the harder it will be to shut them out”
Also, to data transfer anything, you’re locked to iTunes on a specific device, on Android I could sideload apps from my SD card if I wanted, move pictures or video, etc.
Presumably Android will still allow mounting the complete phone file system and the phones to have SD cards and headphone jacks. If we lose the ability to run whatever we want that majorly sucks, but still not as locked down as iphones.
Where they slow down your phone to try and force an upgrade? Let’s be real, how many people keep phones passed their 1-2 year upgrade cycle? I’m coming up on 4 years a my android, and outside of me dropping it in a pool it’s worked well! I’m finally ready to upgrade tho since it’s still funky ever since then.

It’s mostly marketing honestly. They’re both total ass.
No, unless you use GrapheneOS, iOS is far more secure than Android.
FUCK no! Apple is dogshit locked down like crazy, so, fuck no, politely.
I don’t know if you’re being stupid or trolling, but that’s literally what’s going to happen to Android soon anyways.

Yes… It does… I copied straight from the article, and a way to combat the whole Dev reg thing was to… Install alt store!!! Whoa!
Reading is hard for some people lawl

At least I can get almost 10 years of updates on iOS.

I usually upgrade every 6 to 7 years.
