Not actually usable, but I found this entertaining to see.

      I’d rather not use iOS at all. Android is infinitely more customizable, powerful, and privacy friendly (with the right OS).

      On the topic of your braindead take in this. Make iOS open source first. It’s almost like opensource breeds interoperability and closed source breed cultists who think they’re better by default.

        Ngl open source also breeds cultists who think they’re better by default, but at least those cultists made the right choice

        Well, I wouldn’t call it a “brain dead take”. I usually keep an Android and an iOS handset and I view each with a set of drawbacks and payoffs. The former (usually) allows you to unlock the boot loader without drawbacks and the latter does not. The latter is exclusive to a set of hardware. So if you want to have iOS you’re consigned to using the hardware deemed acceptable by Apple — but if someone were to accomplish “the brain dead take” a whole host of hardware would be available to you. There’s utility to that for some people.

        Ok. Let’s be real now. Android without Google Play Services is not something that is even remotely useful for 99.99999999% of the Android users that is out there. Furthermore, if one or two of those users are your friends, then Google most likely keeps track of you quite ok anyways.

        Nevertheless, good for you managing to avoid all big social media, relevant messaging apps, dating apps, commercial services apps and apps using Google Play Services.

      It would actually be cool either way.

      I don’t personally like iOS. I kinda hate it when I have to use it, even.

      But it would be cool as shit for users to be able to choose their OS even more than they currently can. Hell, even a gimped partial version with a long-ass series of disclaimers and limitations would be a welcome thing for users. I despise windows, and I still wish people could freely load it on their devices if they wanted to.

      Yeah, I know, there’s huge technical hurdles making it hard to pull off, even if iOS and windows were fully open source, but can you imagine being able to pick between all the major OSes as your needs require, on almost any hardware? That would be cool as fuck.

        This is the right way of thinking. I personally can’t stand IOS but thats me. It would be awesome to have the option to run any OS even cooler would be if you could pay to have it official which of course will never happen.

        Lol running android on an iPhone is cool, but how much sacrifice to the apple gods does it take to get there? 😹 If I wanted to be half apple I would much prefer the half that I can download fo free.

      Android is an OS. Do you want iOS in a virtual machine within Android? Intriguing idea. Use Android for most things, and iOS for the few things it does better.
