“Android OS is bad”?, compared to IOS 17? At this point IOS just feels like an Apple flavor of Android, similar to other brands like Samsung.

As an iPhone user, I can confidently say that most of Apple’s OS innovation in the last two years has primarily been adopting Android features that have existed for years. The whole reason I switched from Pixel to an iPhone 13 Pro was because Apple had finally caught up to Android and aped so many Android features and design choices that I felt like I could switch and enjoy the connectivity features with my friends and family who have iPhones, without sacrificing all the Android features I’d come to know and love.

Ok that's fucking stupid.

Yea, among other things, I'm not going through the process of migration just to prove a point. Too much work for uncertain returns, and on top of that I'll end up hating my phone. Why'd I do that?

I'm running a Google Pixel + a popular open source android ROM. No Google.

When will I change my phone? When my Pixel dies and I buy another pixel to install an open source android ROM without Google.

Is it even usable my dude? The phone oses all seem like "Linux desktop" maturity of 2 decades ago.

Would my bank app work? Can I use it for navigation?

I run Calyx and everything works for me except for Google pay. Google's device validation is required for that, and since Google can't separate the spying from security it's a no go.

My bank and Google maps works even. In fact you can download any app from Google Play itself via Aurora store.
