      Yeah I was going to say there is very little alternative from iOS and Android or its derivatives. There used to be Windows Phones very breifly, but they’re gone now.

      Anthing else has to emulate the other OS to run mobile apps.

        I actually had a Windows phone around 2011-ish. It had some pretty cool features and was a Nokia.
