    honestly id be completely happy with a phone that just receives calls/text and only has a web browser. Almost every app i have on my phone i can do the same thing on a browser so whats the point. It seems like an invasive way to get access to your phone and its data

      Having a camera on you at all times is pretty awesome. Calls/text/browser/camera/plays music is really the main ones.

      Yeah, after years of Google usage cutting out email then moving onto using foss apps, syncthing, and browser led to what seemed like an ecosystem that would be hard to escape to one I don’t find necessary anymore.

      Just wish hardware choices itself wasn’t such an uphill battle and more like it is on PC with ease of installing whatever OS you want.
