    You can always install F-Droid and side-load .apk on Android. Apple censors anything remotely negative about China, among other concerning positions. Neither mobile company is good, so why ditch Android entirely?

      PostMarketOS is an alternative to Android that has nothing to do with Apple.

      I don’t think they implied that they would switch to Apple. They just want off android so bad they can’t wait for the new Linux mobile OS

      Agreed, they both suck but I’ll at least stick with the one that begrudgingly lets me install what I want vs. the one that tells me what I’m allowed to install completely.

      I love fdroid. I would sell it to the average user on the fact that the apps are adfree.

      As another user said, iOS allegedly has more privacy protections. Another issue I have with Google is they might use DRM to prevent modifying webpages. Which adblocking and other tracker blocking software need to do.
