Hopefully within 2026 we can start to refer to phones as 'Android/Google Phones', 'iPhones' and 'FOSS Phones' - No longer referring to them as 'DeGoogled'.

But I am 100% understanding why we use the term now, it came from a Reddit sub. I think (and hope) if we start using the alternative term - FOSS Phones or Open Source or Sailfish/Jolla or whatever else they are.. that people will start looking at that option quicker.

DeGoogled sounds to many like it is a bit of work to get rid of google (Buying a google phone and having to remove it). At one stage that was true, custom roms etc.

But I am hoping at this stage anyone buying any of these phones will already know why they are choosing them over other brands.
