Apple is once again running ads on the social media platform X, after the company previously stopped all advertising on the website due to the presence of objectionable content on it.
You pay them a one time fee. The data you share with them is what makes google money. So from that perspective it’s like direct buy over a loan. They can’t leech you dry when you are not on loans.
Buy a used one then. GrapheneOS is by far the best mobile operating system. I have used Calyx and have a Lineage tablet. Neither of them compare to how well GrapheneOS works in and of itself as well as with sandboxed Play services
Maybe even a refurbished one to minimize Google profits.
I usually buy them second hand but still new from people who got them from their carriers for a contract extension.
The best option is GrapheneOS on Pixel devices.
If you buy a Pixel, you’re supporting Google which is probably worse.
Maybe a Nothing Phone or a OnePlus?

Worth it for the awesome work GrapheneOS devs have done. Heck, buy used.
Pixel is just one of the safest android phones in terms of hardware security.

PinePhone any good? Sounds like it’s still a bit of a hobbyist device but if it can do the basics of texting and calling that’s all I need.
GrapheneOS seems to only run on pixels

Agreed
