Recently I've been seriously considering finally ditching iPhone because I share the same concern. After all, Apple did the same to another company recently... so we know they are willing.
- zepto 6y agoWhat other company did they do this to?
- jtbayly 6y agoI think it started with a P. Paler, maybe? or Parter?
- zepto 6y agoGoogle ditched that app too. If you move from iPhone, where would you go?
- jtbayly 6y agoI don't really want to go to Android, but as was pointed out above, at least side loading is possible. Everyone still can get Element right now, even though Google has banned it from their store. But if Apple banned it, I'd be immediately unable to get it.
- Karsteski 6y agoYou can use an open source community driven Android build like LineageOS or GraniteOS, if your phone supports it. You can even conpletely degoogle your phone this way :)
- 0x10c0fe11ce 6y agoI’m seriously considering ditching my iPhones for any Nokia dumb phone. But what we really need is a mobile OS that is really free with no marketing BS, ideally BSD derived.

- zepto 6y agoUnfortunately (since otherwise I’d be using one) both are unusable as practical replacements for Android or iOS.
