I never minded iPhone overall. But my recent phone has been a lemon. Also since the iOS 16 update, the phone has been nearly unusable. Thankfully, people actually seem to be speaking speaking out about it. Usually people will never criticize Apple.
I could go on about all my issues with iPhone, but are there actually better options? I had Android about 10 years ago. It was fine, I didn’t really have any issues. Feels like you just get fed up with one platform and move to another one that’s better in some ways but still not great.
I’ve noticed Google products have fallen off a cliff in recent years, too. For smartphones being one of the most talked about ‘triumphs of capitalism’ (bs), capitalism doesn’t seem to make good phones. Actually, they have gotten way worse in recent years.
Depends on what you need it for. I just use old (2010+) Android phones with open-source firmware (aside from more or less unavoidable proprietary blobs) and they work very well for the most part
Was legitimately considering this.
It’s really not that difficult (at least for the ROMs I’ve tried and the devices I’ve used). Just make sure there’s an official or unofficial release for a device before buying one
