I would, if apple wouldn't dictate what i can and cannot install on my phone.
Is there a smartphone that's usable as a daily driver, lets me have root and provides long term updates?

- ChuckNorris89 6y agoOr, you know, almost any Android phone from a reputable brand like Oneplus for example.
- hansel_der 6y agocheeky comment considering the premise was long-term updates. while there are android phones that are supported by custom rom's up to ~5 years (exceptions even longer), the majority isn't. meanwhile a 5year old iphone se is seamlessly supported by the manufacturer and probably will be for a few years to come.
- fuzxi 6y agoLongterm official updates? Not that I've found. Your best bet is likely to buy a high-specced device that allows root + unlocking the bootloader and flashing a custom ROM. That's probably what I'm going to do (minus rooting), even though I'd greatly prefer manufacturer support.
