Extremely annoyed at users who expect FOSS devs to go through the rigamarole of paying the Apple tax, and getting Apple's permission to have the privilege of making it available to their customers.

Extremely annoyed at users that think everyone has iOS phones, when most of the world have Android. Thinking that the US is the only relevant place means you have serious tunnel vision. /s

Oh and blame Apple. They are extremely hostile to open-source devs publishing apps on their platform.

Buys closed eco system phone. Shocked it's a closed eco system. Cue shocked Pikachu face?

Lol. Your post is pure US defaultism. The US only has 5% of the world wide population. Worldwide Android has around 71% market share while iOS only has around 27%.

Be better mister American.

Not OPs fault you've picked the wrong os ¯\(ツ)/¯

Android has a huge market share compared to iOS, plus it's a lot harder to develop these types of applications for iPhone because of apples policies.

Check the global total deployments, US is not the only place in the world with smartphones.

If Apple didn't keep treating smaller developers like shit, maybe you would have more options for applications that respected your privacy and weren't as monetized.

Consider moving away from the abusive platform and then your options for privacy and security will expand. Maybe look for a phone with GrapheneOS support (previously only Pixels, but Motorola models will come with support soon) for complete control and customization.

😂 lol, lmao even 😂

I think this is the most downvoted comment I ever saw on lemmy. Gratz.

It's roughly split in OS in US. I fell most security conscious users are android users. Sold might initially give slightly better initial privacy, android is far more customizable to the point there's no contest.

Plus, I buy my phones outright so I'm not stuck with a $1000+ phone in a contract or subsidized phone plan making payments.

Get a android you lunatic
