So you’re using iPhone now but are anonymous to apple? You didn’t register any accounts on your phone or in the AppStore with your email or credit card data?

If this happens in Denmark/EU. I will say f**k convenience and go graphene, even though it will make my like more complicated

Where is this coming from? I never said that.
I am under no illusion of that. Since google is an advertisement company I tend to trust the other company a bit more. Still the plague or cholera

Because if Apples knows your identity why would you switch phones so avoid giving apple your identity? I’m using Graphene so having register some account on my phone would be a change for me. If you already have corporate account sent on your phone what would this change for you?

I stand corrected. I don’t know where my head was at.
Apologies. What made me baulk was the “ID” part. Not giving them my equivalent to a social security number.

Way ahead of ya. Graphene is mostly working well. Some small issues like MitId not working due to Play Integrity but hopefully the UnifiedAttestation and focus on removing big tech dependence will solve that.
Antaeus@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
UnifiedAttestation looks promising. Here’s to hoping it’s not going to cause google to sue.

I could not agree more. Ironic to live in a society where we are required to either give our data to American mega corp 1 or American mega corp 2.
Go data sovereignty!

For me as well. I’ve just ordered a used Pixel 10 Pro so I’m going to give it a try. One inconvenience is that my current phone uses an eSIM which means that I cannot simply swap over and back if desired.

Why not? I thought swapping was promoted as a benefit of eSIM.
PancakesCantKillMe@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
I’ll admit I am speaking from ignorance. I haven’t really worked with eSIM phones in this manner and assumed you couldn’t simply swap them like physical SIM cards.
snooggums@piefed.world 20 hours ago
Can you swap an eSIM to a phone that doesn’t use eSIM?
mjr@infosec.pub 19 hours ago
I think you can get eSIM adapters for phones without one built in, but I’ve not bothered yet, so I might have misunderstood.

I use Graphene, it’s not that much harder than stock Android. I highly recommended it.

In Denmark it is close to impossible to live without iOS or bloated Android.
You need a MFA for verification. Doesn’t work on graphene. Alternatively, a physical code viewer is needed to function. Nobody has cash anymore. If not card, people transfer via mobilepay (venmo like). Mobilepay doesn’t work on graphene. We don’t get physical mail anymore and the apps to view digital mail doesn’t work on graphene. Banking apps, guess… most don’t work on graphene. Soon, we are forced to have an app for public transport if you are a commuter, like I am. I have very little hopes that it will work on graphene.
I was running calyx until mobilepay stopped working. But life got to inconvenient and filled with daily frustrations. Now I get frustrated over iOS. The Android on pixels steal too much data.

Is this a specific MFA? There are open source authentication apps on fdroid.
Can you Venmo via browser?
Antaeus@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
It is a particular proprietary concoction. Normal MFA apps won’t work it’s called MitID if you want to check it out. I meant venmo like. Not venmo. And no, they don’t offer a browser based “edition” ☹️
