The challenge is that these days a phone is rarely used for calls or texts, but used with apps like WhatsApp or Teams or Slack or your mobile banking app, or things like that. And so there would need to be a critical mass of these apps to get me to switch.
Yup. Or Waydroid (or others) mature like Wine/Proton has.
SafetyNet is an issue though
SafetyNet is also an issue on Android as soon as you modify anything or install a custom ROM :/
I hate how corporations name their lock-in bullshit names that make it sound like it’s for the user’s protection when it’s just protecting their garbage monopolies. I’d argue an open platform not under Google’s control is more secure and safer for my data than a Google spy machine.
Yes. But if 90% of your friends use it, and have groups in it where things are planned and organised, then by not having it you’re going to be missing out on a big chunk of things going on around you.
