And because you chose to buy an Apple device, when Android or Linux devices are available, for cheaper even...
I bought apple devices because their software support is solid and the user interface is pretty.
But the limitations were not worth the trade off. As there are now decent alternatives and I’m no longer stuck with just android on the phone side of things anymore. There have been quite a few advancements made in the linux phone area.
I now have pixel 3a with ubuntu touch, old thinkpad with linux mint, a steam deck and gaming rig with linux nobara. I got the whole 9-yards. I will using more of linux as time goes on.
Just use Lineage OS. It is the most mature as it is based on AOSP
Better yet: buy a newer Pixel and use GrapheneOS.
How's the battery life with the 3a? I feel like the battery has degraded to hell unless you replaced it but I am curious
I bought it used. The phone lasts me through alight, I would say it has the capacity for 4 hours of screen on time.
Though Ubuntu Touch drains more on standby so often when I'm in the mood to try it I have to replug it in.
Apple just has better integration for a lot of things, and the UI is just so much better
The UI for playing ads and paying for music sure is great!
uYouEnhanced + YouTube Premium
I don't have this problem. The android and iOS YT apps are similar, I was talking about the OS in general
Not sure what’s wrong with paying for listening to music. Used regional pricing so for me YT premium is like 4€/month. I consider that a pretty good deal.
I remember downloading some app in highschool off the playstore to make my old ass galaxy note4 UI look like an IPhone X, had identical features and everything. It looked legit to my friends who used them their whole lives. Didn't really like it but its out there.
Oh and there's free apps like Innertune which is basically YT music+
I’m on a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS so I’m not sure that would work

I already use Aurora and have Google Play services sandboxed already enabled, but thanks anyway! :)
If it was the ui app you were asking for it was called Launcher iOS 15, but they made an 18 version since then. I'd get a system adblock or DNS before installing any of them, assuming they work on your phone anyway
Thanks! They claim not to log any info, so that’s nice. I’ll check further but it was a big complaint that I had. :)
Edit: they just didn’t put the privacy infos in the play store, but they seem to reserve the right to retrieve some infos.
I’ll guess I’ll throw LuckyPatcher at it to try to remove google services and disallow internet access
