- Comment on Why are some people deciding to switch to iOS as Android is putting on more (iOS-like) restrictions? 3 weeks ago:
tbh i’d also get an iphone if i need a ‘normal’ phone to use, the only other option i have is samsung phones and they suck for numerous reasons. apple tends to restrict apps’ permissions, so for shitty corporate apps the ios version tends to be less invasive too.
my last iphone was the 5s and i use degoogled lineageos now btw…
