  The point ist to not buy an iPhone. Buy Hardware that supports your rights, not hardware that actively fights it.

    No, I don’t think Apple’s intention is to convince consumers not to purchase their products…

    Yes, but Apple is an industry leader. If they get away with it, other companies will do the same

    And put software on that hardware that preserves your rights. I use GrapheneOS on a Pixel, and there are ROMs for other hardware as well:

    • LineageOS
    • CalyxOS
    • /e/OS

    Each has tradeoffs, but the point is to pick something you control and force apps to meet you where you are. If enough people do that, app developers will accommodate them.

      Exactly this. People need to Start take responsibility for their purchases. Getting graphene to run on a supporte device is literally doable via a web browser.
