And this is half of the reason I abandoned the Apple devices. This and the walled garden and ever lowering quality of the software.

    Nonsense, and their reasoning is bullshit as well. They still allow Grok and X on their App stores, Apps spreading CSAM, AI slop and false information.

    Oh and the rigorous review system to keep Apps safe? Low paid kids that didn't make it in the customer service department. 0 technical knowledge required, but reviewing code.

    Hahaha, I always chuckle when I see people online parrot PR copytext about how Apple cares [about digital privacy]. Just read their privacy policy...

    Can't wait till we live in a time where we have good alternatives to the Apple and Android store.
    Ones that people actually use

    It's a chicken and egg problem.

    There are alternatives:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fairphone (supports Ubuntu Touch in addition to non-google Android distros).

    I am going to keep my Samsung for banking and government apps (it has the latest Android ver, so it will work at least for a few more years), but I am planning to switch to Jolla once it is released. I also think Euro government will eventually realize that they need to move off Android/iOS.
