Really im just waiting for ladybird. I use safari on my apple devices because of battery life and Zen on Linux and Mac devices for ublock and foss. I’m ngl every time I use a chrome based browser though I’m reminded how websites are supposed to work everything is about 1 billion times faster. I sure hope ladybird will allow me to finally not browser hop / hate my browser. There’s no need for new browsers that aren’t foss at this point.

Yep! Guess it’s time to fork!

I’m in orange country currently so there aren’t any alternatives. It curve was here I’d probably be off iOS honestly. I genuinely use nfc payments that much that often that it’s a big necessity for me.

As far as I know Samsung is the worst option for security and privacy. Also good news iPad has the health app now

Can’t use graphene unless my primary because android because of the Intune stuff

I’m definitely skeptical of anything closed source in general but there isn’t too much on the contrary, so it’s just a matter of one company makes money on data and on doesn’t. I’m sure they both collect similar amounts of data though.

I guess I’m asking for thoughts on a solution. My options are basically A) Keep iPhone as main, use stock pixel 9 as work no changes. B) Use graphene + watch and somehow try to hack a way into Intune setup properly, lose a little bit of functionality. Probably would return pixel and trade in iPhone for pixel 10 and wait for graphene, since I value the MagSafe. C) Get a different iPhone as a second for or upgrade current phone to use current as old phone. Probably most expensive option if the latter. D) not care at all about having my personal device slightly managed and just put Intune on it.

Yeah you make a good point. I saw an article recently that Apple is considering using ads in Apple Maps so maybe the companies are moving closer together and it doesn’t really matter that much anyway. How would a degoogled stock pixel phone compare to an iPhone do you think?

Sorry perhaps I could have been a bit clearer. One of the devices is going to end up having Intune on it for work, is the somewhat complicating factor. I realize I could make the iPhone my “work” and just but Intune on there but I guess ideally I’d like to have 0 personal related stuff on a phone that has anything to do with work if possible. Perhaps if graphene worked with Intune work profiles I could just do 1 singular device of graphene + watch? But I looked through some threads and didn’t seem like it was super clear cut
