I used to love Android but I want to move, and I don't know if it's the right thing. (lemm.ee)

I was an iOS supporter until iphone 5 then I discovered the beauty and freedom of Android.

To this day with Samsung s22+

But currently I am a bit tired, there is no android phone that I am passionate about, oneplus has given me nothing but problems, Samsung with exynos is a disaster (not to mention the new blockages at sideload and the green stripes on the display), I don't even want to go near all the other Chinese brands, and Nothing is not what it promised to be.

I want to go back to iOS but there are a few things holding me back:

how can sideload be managed on iOS? Are there modified apps like youtube, reddit?
I follow a lot of NSFW channels on telegram, discord and reddit itself, are there any problems on iOS? are there ways around this? (my girlfriend has iOS, and every time I want to forward an nsfw gif she doesn't see it)
surf the sea, is it complex on ios? Especially in terms of gaming?

TBH only yt, nsfw and modded apk keep me on android. Thanks a lot in advance

Long time Samsung user. Get a Pixel 8. Install Obtainium. Use it to install Neo Launcher and 99% of the apps you probably use. Or just switch to GrapheneOS. You will be happy again.

I also found filly changing my layout helps. My daily calendar, task list, and clock are the only things on my first home screen.

+1 for GrapheneOS

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Agreed, grapheneos is great

Obtainium

Didn't know about obtenium. I think pixel 8 seems the only good choice also if it's pricey and I'm afraid that is a lot smaller than the s22+ that I think is a right size

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Yea, they have gotten pricey. I ended up going down in phone size instead of getting the bigger 8, really like being able to reach all the way across the phone again. Using a tablet for reading things probably made a difference here, though.

Filly? What does that mean in this context?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think they typoed "fully"

OH! Got it! Thank you! I was legitimately just like "is this new lingo I don't know"

Yes, it's new lingo, that's what I was using. Mmmhmm. You should too.. Totally..
