I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don’t even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

  • how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?

  • I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn’t see it)

  • surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

    Chinese companies steal your data

    Try Pixel

    lol

    Putting GrapheneOS on the Pixel is good advice though

      Contrary to popular belief, pixels are surprisingly private, more than Samsungs or the China phones at least. Google will still try to up sell it, but they do on all Android devices.

      Pixels are arguably the most private android since you only get Google tracking. With other androids you get Google tracking on top of all the other tracking

            You can basically disable most Google tracking though a good DNS that blocks that traffic.

            So only most but not all. Therefore it’s not private if there’s any tracking. Thus a de-googled version is the only option.

              You won’t get rid of google tracking you on Youtube or Gmail, because thats literally part of how it works. If you don’t use Google apps, the Android itself won’t do shit. But that’s basically what de-Googled means so yeah obviously.
