    Tell me more about the phone! This has taken so long and I am ready to migrate to an open phone even if it’s only for texting at this point.

    Screw this OS monopoly by Apple and Alphabet.

    Open to simple solutions here. I have a Pixel 4a 5g and iPhone 15 Pro* atm.

      your pixel probably runs graphene, degoogle it.

      you could probably run linux on it today too.

        What’s keeping me from doing this is that i won’t be able to run my banking apps anymore then. And I can’t be arsed to carry two phones

          I mean, carrying two phones would defeat most of the purpose anyway if one isn’t degoogled in the first place, they’re still getting all that tracking and they’ll be able to associate it with all the online activity of your degoogled phone that’s conveniently always in the same location.
