Can you repair android phone nowadays? Afaik, they are just as hard as apple
Never had a problem
this should come before March 2024
True for the gadgets, smartphones are just in line with other android phones but at least the phone is supported for 5-6 years and it doesn't go to shit after a few years of use
Preach.
Then buy no phone and remove google, etc. For a computer, buy a System76 et similia -but do not use Nvidia/AMD/intel GPU/CPU; no Samsung for SSD, no Intel network card etc.
But you can?Maybe it's new, idk
True. I use iCloud webApp on Linux or transfer the files on Mega
It works for the most basic use cases
True, but on the other hand iOS is the reason you would buy an iPhone. I'm a power user on desktop but I can't be bothered on mobile: back when I had an android, I used the stock apps too and never did anything """weird""". I'm a desktop user throughout, so if I have to do anything I will just use my PC instead of relying on my phone
-- That said, if you don't mind paying:
So you basically confirmed my points 😅
Never said you were wrong lol
If you value freedom over comfort, then obviously an iPhone doesn't cut it
With freedom comes the confort. It's me who should decide what I need, not Apple. Apple should adjust to my needs, not me to Apple.
lol, tell me that when you use a banking app outside the Google play services
Freedom [to install your own OS on a mobile device] for sure won’t bring me any comfort, and in fact it’s something I don’t care about.
Beside, it’s a naive take: Apple doesn’t force you to buy its phones so you can just go wherever. And I doubt most people who buy an android do so for the freedom to install their own OS
