I really think I might be done with Apple. The only thing keeping me using them is how much I hate Android. The _millisecond_ a competitor arrives, I'm dropping my iPhone like a bad habit.

Off topic, but is there anything specific that you hate about Android? I find it acceptable. I'm trying to cut down my phone usage so maybe I'm more tolerant.

Not OP, but: "acceptable", that's the problem. Also I dislike Google more than Apple.

  I'm wondering what adjectives you hope to apply to a phone operating system. I'm content with mine when I don't have to think about it, for which "acceptable" seems about right, and discontent when I do.

GrapheneOS on a Pixel is that competitor. Open source, more secure than Apple, compatible with nearly all Android apps. It's all the positive aspects of Android without the downsides (Google).

> compatible with nearly all Android apps
The "nearly" is the issue. Opting out of the Apple/Google duopoly comes at a great cost.

  I've used it for 3 years and the only app I couldn't use has been Google pay/wallet.
  Truly is nearly. Some apps (banks) you need to toggle a compat mode.

I keep hoping and wishing for a daily drivable linux phone that's compatible with all the us networks to come along. I'll keep hoping and wishing. Someday I hope we will get there!
