I don't care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the "blue vs green bubble" drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure isn't Android's fault for not being compatible with it.

The more power a company like this gains, the worse will it be for the whole industry.

I‘ve had both and I hate both for their own specific reasons. But you can‘t be living with a dumb flip phone these days.

Or… can you?

In 2020 I tried to buy a burner tracphone at a Walgreens, and the clerk was just shocked and incredulous that someone might really want to pay money for such a thing.
