First, Apple doesn't show ads anywhere in the OS. If you're talking about ads served in web pages, that's another thing.
The only Linux phone I know of that's actually purchasable for humanly reasonable amounts of money is the PinePhone. Everything else I've seen is yet another Android, and Android is tied to Google.

- goosedragons 4y agoIs the App Store part of the OS or not? The News app? All those your running out of iCloud storage messages? Or the Music app "helpfully" reminding you that Apple Music exists and you should totally try the free trial?
- johnklos 4y agoIf I use Apple apps, I might expect to be offered subscriptions, but I don't use the News app, I don't run out of iCloud storage, I've never seen the Music app mention Apple Music (except maybe the first time I launched it, but if it did, it was super easy to skip). You're right about the app store, but I don't visit that regularly. OTOH, Google and Amazon have conditioned me to ignore anything that's "promoted" or similar.
