Apple's new iOS age verification in the UK sparks outrage as users warn they may switch to Android over privacy and ID concerns.

    I’m dabbling switching to GrapheneOS. Apple was the lesser of (obvious) evils compared to Google, but that’s becoming less true daily.

    I don’t think I can make it my primary device yet, still need to de-cloud a bunch of services, but it’s very likely my next device won’t be an iPhone.

      I’m running GrapheneOS since about 2 years now and I’m more than happy.
      Didn’t had any real issues with it.
      Art the start Android Auto didn’t work, but it does now - although I don’t really use it.

      I have Google play service stuff installed, but sandboxed.
      And my banking apps work just fine.

      Friend of mine made the switch a few months ago and haven’t heard of any complaints either.

      Can highly recommend it :⁠-⁠)

        I’d use Android Auto + Sandboxed Google Play more if Android Auto allowed NewPipe, OsmAnd and other FOSS apps to be added to the dashboard.

          I somehow also get a lower resolution Google maps, when using Google Auto.
          That was the reason I don’t really use it.

          For music and stuff, I just use Bluetooth

          But good luck having Google add something as NewPipe to be allowed with Android Auto ;⁠-⁠)
