    Luckily there’s one mainstream and about a half dozen non-mainstream mobile OSes besides Apple, and almost anyone looking for the best in anything would not have Apple hardware in the first place.

      It’s not my choice. I’m a 17-year-old in a family of Apple shills.

            My parents have never explicitly said this, but this seems like something my dad would think.

            They don’t have to pay for it, though. I’ve asked to buy a Fairphone with my money that I earned from my job several times, but they wouldn’t budge and I eventually just gave up.

              Wth? Lol well now I don’t understand. If you have the money, what’s stopping you from just buying it anyway and swapping the SIM?

                I’m not sure what would happen if I did that, and I don’t want to risk it.

                I’ll wait until I’m a legal adult, and then I’ll do that.

                  Fair! And try to enjoy being a child while it lasts 😉 my final year before adulthood was one of the best years of my life!

          Not yet. Thankfully, I’ll be a legal adult in 229 days.
