If you're going to be a willful retard and use an iPhone despite how much it fucking sucks, do it correctly.

Here's what I would do if I EVER subjected myself to using Crapple products (only real reason would be because Qobuz isn't bitperfect on Android, REE):

• Set my DNS immediately after account setup to one I've made on NextDNS to block the majority of ads at the OS level, included all Apple tracking servers.

• Use the App Store as sparingly as possible to download apps not available as (gimped) PWA's or through the AltStore.

• Use AltStore (TrollStore once a more recent supported iOS version releases) for everything else, including a Nostr client with zaps.

• Benefit from the majority of my family being Apple cultists while actively fucking them financially (buying refurbished or through Swappa).

Anything less than this is massive self-ownage.
