Good thing my iPhone is old. I can’t wait to switch to Graphene fulltime!
I did it a few months ago and never looked back. There are some stingy things (some banking apps work partially or don’t work at all and some android functions like google wallet don’t work) but overall, the experience is really good.
Mugita SokioMine is also old (iOS 15), so I can’t get digital ID’d on that.
Both companies doing their best at enshittification
Yep, pretty much the plan here all along. It’s bullspit if you ask me.

I have an iPhone for work (not mine, the employer paid for it and I just use it during work time). It’s gonna be a lot of fun to see how they try (and fail) to force me to verify my age.
We need to all use f-droid instead!
F-droid doesn’t exist on Apple and its days are numbered on stock Android too.
I placed this in !deapple@piefed.social, but do appreciate the repost from there.
