      Lol, that’s like saying “my country became a dictatorship, so I’m gonna support another country’s dictator out of spite”

              I added, “if I can’t find a linux one that is suitable for my needs”. And I mean it, I will spend the time and energy for due research when the time comes to change it. I am a long time linux OS user in my personal computer so I won’t shy away from using a phone if the OS feels different to android.

              All I am saying is after this consideration, if I am left between iOS and android, I will go iOS because of how blatantly disrespectful google has become of it is base users in the last 5-10 years.

        Not really, it is more like saying “I am going to move to another dictatorship”. In both cases, lose enough of your “members” and your organisation becomes significantly weaker.

        Also iPhone has been quite constant about its motivations and priorities quite from the start (even if did not announce it publicly lol). Android however was a product of a company who started its life with the motto “don’t be evil” and is now trying to monopolize the shit out of everything, including its users free time. I am not even sure this can even be classified as a lesser of two evils scenario anymore.

        Yeah but he’s doing it out of spite since the whole point of Android is freedom to do what you want. Take that away… Might as well go apple.
