Android can't be forked properly anymore. It is barely opensource at that point.

AOSP? Google publishes it once a quarter, can't contribute to it. And not to mention that you have to use proprietary blobs, otherwise your phone just won't run properly.

    I disagree. Currently apple does way more technological advancements than we ever had. Imagine an rtx5090 performance in a small factor of a 300w box. But it is also 96gb of ram on top and it also have the fastest CPU on earth (blender benchmark). The entire Mac mini M6 costs like a single 5090.

    And considering how android moves backwards, enshittifies, removing features and adding fuckton of tracking, while apple is moving towards preserving privacy and anti-ai.

    Don't get me wrong, apple is still a walled garden, but they don't even block you from installing Linux on their apple silicon macbooks.
