  They used to still be only a small percentage until the entire internet got completely decimated by ads in the past 5 years.

  I’ve got one of these. Fantastic phone but the official OS was basically abandoned in terms of security updates. Need to check out custom ROMs.

  I’m actually using a Titan Pocket currently. Works well enough for me. The security updates are lagging behind that’s getting me considering switching back, but I’m otherwise cautious how I use it.

  It’s a nice feeling device, and makes me wish they’d make more BlackBerry style phones with bigger displays and Android capability.

  People see you whip the titan out and think “oh he’s doing that rollback technology thing”, then you use Android Pay and they really flip out lol.

  Across the pond in the UK they’re expanding ULEZ and this is a major sticking point. You need to upgrade to more fuel efficient cars, right when buying shopping is expensive enough. They want you to get new cars, and the majority cannot aford them.

  Good for people who decide to adopt Android or an open source OS after having an iPhone for a while. Would help get some more traction for alternatives too like Ubuntu Touch.

  He could sell the S21 and get a Fairphone instead? At least then the battery is still replaceable along with other components.
