I was looking at that too and came to the same conclusion. I should probably migrate off apple at some point but Android in its current state is not viable for me.

    What about it isn't viable? Genuinely curious

    I can’t use it stock because cell providers can push bullshit apps I don’t want without my permission and I can’t fully disable Gemini. Switching to grapheneOS addresses those concerns, but cause new problems, like killing tap to pay and triggering security flags on games and banking apps.

    Yeah that's a fair point. Some android models do have minimal or none bloatware, like Google pixel... But also then papa Google owns your ass lol

    I was actually looking at moving to a pixel fold but the Gemini shit that I can’t turn off turned me away. The Samsung fold7 is incredibly tempting too, but again, I refuse to use their adware riddled shit.

    Honestly having used a pixel 6 for the last few years, I've never seen or noticed the Gemini stuff.
