    Honestly, iPhone is already there in shittyland. You need to jailbreak to do it, which you can host install GraphineOS or root your android easier for the same effect.

    We need a 3rd primer mobile OS option, but won't get one since the money always enshittifies these things.

    The most annoying part is the number of good mobile OSs we have already lost over the years to these two; Symbian, BB10, Windows Phone, and WebOS come to mind just off the top of my head. Not to mention the projects that have struggled for traction like Mozilla OS and Ubuntu Touch.

    Edit: I misremembered, it was called Firefox OS, not Mozilla OS.

    No, stop using vanilla corpo software. They will fuck you again. Just put an aftermarket ROM on your android phone. I run LineageOS on an old OnePlus model. You can build it yourself if you're techy and paranoid, otherwise the tutorials to flash an official prebuilt image are not that hard for a tech-literate person, almost every supported device has a guide page on their wiki.

    I don't know what features you want, but GrapheneOS only runs on Pixels due to that team's specific concerns over hardware-based security, and LineageOS officially supports hundreds of phones.

    The whole point of this change is that you won't be able to use these anymore.

    I thought they allowed app installs outside of the app store now? I haven't had an iOS device for about 10 years but the few things I hear it feels like iOS is moving more towards openness while Android is quickly moving towards a closed environment and what iOS used to be in that meaning. I also think Google has been real bad with tracking and shit than Apple has ever been. Obviously both Google (or Alphabet or whatever) and Apple are absolutely not good in any way about any of this, just saying to make it clear I'm not siding with either.
