iPhone is a mostly privacy-protecting damn good experience without having to de-Apple, but walled garden App Store. Jailbroken iPhone is a good trade off.

Android is a bad experience when you fully de-Google, and you can sideload apps, but Android apps mostly suck. And apps that wouldn’t otherwise be accepted on the store mostly don’t exist.

Best option until hyperbitcoinization IMO is assuming they will both be infinitely hostile and building impervious tools like web apps.

Interesting...

How do you jail break an iPhone?

You mostly don’t anymore because most people have no reason to. What’s going on with Damus is the kind of thing that could bring it back though.

you don’t have to bring jailbreaking back.

Jailbreaking used to be so fun. I thought I was so cool when I could edit my Minecraft PE worlds or screen record in 2012 on my moms iPhone 4S🤣

dont jailbreak if you have banking apps on your phone (unless you find a tweak to bypass it), also some apps have jailbreak detection it will just crash when you open it

You can run Android with Google in a sandbox. Then you get the Play Store and it's Google Services, but they don't get control of your phone or any apps outside of their jurisdiction. Daniel McCay did this very well in GrapheneOS.

I'm unfamiliar with iPhone jailbreaking but that sounds like a good thing.
