    So then, in 194 days, Android will be an inferior version of iOS and you may as well just switch to Apple because their devices have a better security posture.

        I don’t know if you’re being stupid or trolling, but that’s literally what’s going to happen to Android soon anyways.

          Presumably Android will still allow mounting the complete phone file system and the phones to have SD cards and headphone jacks. If we lose the ability to run whatever we want that majorly sucks, but still not as locked down as iphones.

          No, because you can literally use an alt app store

          Install F-Droid ↗ on your Android device(s). The more people that use alternative app marketplaces, the harder it will be to shut them out”

          Also, to data transfer anything, you’re locked to iTunes on a specific device, on Android I could sideload apps from my SD card if I wanted, move pictures or video, etc.

            The link you posted literally has this banner at the top

            F-Droid is under threat. Google is changing the way you install apps on your device. We need your help.
