  A random second hand smartphone, with a custom Android ron and no Google crap on it.

  Also I’m constantly behind a VPN, just in case they can still get some useful data from me.

  I consider that WAY better than buying a shitty iPhone

    Which is why I stay away from Google’s products too.

    I guess can see how buying items second hand and flashing a ROM is not quite the same as buying a brand new phone running Android, but it seems unfair to then besmirch all iPhone users.

      Did I really say anything about iPhone users? I suggested to boycott Apple and I stated that I don’t use their products.

      Then someone accused me of being an hypocrite, out of literally nowhere.

  Not OP but GrapheneOS on a Pixel probably works quite well. Got independent app stores such as FDroid etc.

    Still gives money to Google though.

      From Ebay it sure doesn’t. That’s like claiming Nintendo gets a cut of second hand cartridge sales.

    That is what I use, but it still dependent upon Google, for both software and hardware.

    While I look forward to Linux phones being usable, but I haven’t had that experience yet.
