Are you upset with Apple for their recent App Store shenanigans to restrict Bitcoin functionality? Google is currently offering $455 trade-in value for all iPhone 11 models, allowing you to switch to an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro for a mere $244! store.google.com/config/pixel_7_pro

Iβve gotta ask around if this is available in my region. Thanks for the heads up, Jameson! Been meaning to ditch iPhone for a while now.
Same. Looking forward to this transfer of OSs
How is that going to help? They are going to do the same to play store sooner or later
What makes you so sure? Apple's bread and butter is that 30% cut of digital purchases. Google has other revenue streams.
Use Calyx or Graphene and install apps through F-Droid
That is not a permanent solution, F-Droid can still take down apps and has .1% of all the apps in the play store
You can use obtanium or just download the apks directly.
You keep saying this, how many apps do you need man? You can get any apps you want, and 90% in the play store are just shitty Spyware apps anyway. Everything you want or need is available via apk. You prefer Apple just nuking apps for you over a little effort to get the apps you want?
Android has app store competition and allows side loading of apps. Moar freedom.
Install #grapheneOS and obtanium
It's unlocked... You can do whatever you want to the phone.
My 3yo motorola phone battery lasts for days. Which is great b/c it's so old the charging port is loose and I often wake up to find that it hasn't charged all night.
I have a Pixel 7 and live it, but I'll also say Moto phones imh are the most underrated phones on the market. Such a solid user experience for a relatively low price point.
#[1] Good news for apple users!
Honestly that's probably the best thing Iphone users who are upset about this can do to send a stinging message to Apple.
Only have an SE π΅
As an IPhone user, I enjoy this phone and many thing about it. That said I also believe in freedom and privacy. Can someone pitch me in on switching to android?
Iβm curious why you all like android so much more. Iβm a bit out of the loop.
Found this answer to my question:

You can buy better phones for less money. There are more apps available. You can sideload apps that never made it into the Google Play store without jailbreaking your phone. It's an open system. You're funding a less authoritarian regime.
i built Android and iOS apps commercially, Android just rocks, does everything iOS can, had just as big of not bigger app ecosystem and is super easy to side load ANYTHING you want, honestly no idea why anyone buys iPhones
$AAPL is behaving like a British colonialist monarchy, taxing the life out of their subjects and branding anyone who circumvents their oppressive tax system "pirates". Sell that sh:t stock. They don't recognize individual liberty or sovereignty.
Another option I saw is reasonably-priced in stock Pixels at Target with a $50 Target gift card included. Pay with cash maybe you can buy an Amazon gift card and use it to buy sats on Robosats.
