    Definitely need to do more, but, consumers could choose android over apple. Apples walled garden bullshit is why the only apple devices I’ve ever had were a couple of old school ipods and various Macintoshs going back to the IIe.

    It sucks moving platforms. I did it going from blackberry to android but with android I can buy any phone I want and it’s mine to do with as I please and plenty of phones have community support to keep an android version updated and secure.

      As someone who’s only owned Androids, it’s just a different walled garden. It’s a duopoly instead of a monopoly.

      You can’t really own your phone whatever you do. Even if you root it all your important apps like banking ones will stop working so there really isn’t a choice.
