after 15 years, iOS has finally caught up with all the main android features, such as

  • very mid ui design
  • kinda floaty feeling
  • unpolished vibe android itself has progressed little, although it is rapidly achieving feature parity with iOS on "locked down user hostility". overall both ecosystems look very appealing, energetic, and healthy, for shareholders

can we find a way to unlock boot loaders hacks and flashing whatever is in there device and install linux os for phones already?????? PLEASE we need to start canceling the top fang stonks. and also making locked boot loaders by all carriers illegal by default and sim locks too.

Sorry, having unlocked bootloaders is unsafe for the children or whatever. Best we can do is mandatory OS and age verification every 45 seconds. Please do not resist.
