other linux phones are not really viable. I dont like supporting apple and even if I didnt care about that, their iOS is far too restrictive.

Freedom. I feel so restricted on iOS. I want to do this, and this, and that there too!

I use a combination of Termux + Andronix to run a full version of Ubuntu. Add Codeboard keyboard and suddenly I have a full dev environment on my unrooted, stock Android (Pixel). I don’t think I can do that with iOS.

With LineageOS + microg I have a cheap phone that performs really well and the battery lasts for multiple days. Had a jailbroken iphone before switching to Android but have never even thougt about going back.
