honestly, what with all the additional anti privacy and DRM shit google have been adding to phones lately, I’ve been getting less and less enamoured with Android phones. Sure I can sideload, but I can’t install root level apps without jumpling over a number of hoops just to stop other apps from failing Safety net.
I miss the time where all you had to do is install the su binary, then you can do what you want without fear of borking shit.
My current phone has some weird instability issues with Magisk - I can’t install AdAway and systemless hosts or LSPosed in zygisk because for some reason, the moment I try it, it causes the phone to randomly freeze up, which to fix requires a reboot. I missed many alarms due to that happening in the middle of the night while I was asleep. (Which while those modules were installed, would happen almost every night) it’s a pixel 3a, with stock ROM. The only module I have currently installed is Universal Safetynet Fix, which for some reason, only half works (passes basic attestation, but not the CTS profile matching)
They seem to have gone out of fashion, but back when I was rocking a HTC Desire I remember seeing people with iphone cases that had a hole in the back so you could see the logo when they were talking on them…
Literally it’s just wealth peacocking and classism, that’s it… people who are proud of owning an iphone are gross
There is more expensive and nicer built iPhones if you really care about blowing money, it’s all so stupid.
Also… Who cares? It’s 2023 all phones pretty much do the same shit.
My chat is shown in a different color on their device
With worse contrast
Sounds like an iPhone problem to me, im sure the average iPhone owner will agree (lol)
Just as gross as people who are proud of not owning an iPhone. It’s a fucking phone, if it’s part of your identity you’re a dork.
Agree, but I see this kind of behavior out of Apple users way more than I see it from Android users.

Be sure to leave those apps negative reviews.

My ignorant understanding was that iphone made that a requirement for their cases
Like even for 3rd party cases? I guess I’d believe that, but hadn’t heard that before.
Those cases are still around.
