It’s not easy

You probably have Android which, while more open, is still ran by Google who could, at will, decide to change the rules tomorrow by forcing an update directly to your (or my) phone. Besides those two, there isn’t much. While competition and free market is good, it’s not always enough, sometimes regulation is needed.

I meant regulation requiring interoperability to prevent walled gardens. Kinda like net neutrality, but for “platforms”, if you will.

Yes, I can choose to use the fediverse, with plenty of instances to choose from, as opposed to a handful of centralized alternatives, but as far as mobile platforms, my choices are exactly two, and there is no (viable) fediverse equivalent. Of course I chose the slightly more open one, Android, but that’s hardly a real choice.

Terms of service can be incredibly one sided. And you don’t have the option to not agree or negotiate, and still use the hardware you paid for in a reasonable way.
Why do you care what other people think about the brand of phone you use? And I say this as someone who has an iPhone. I don’t give a shit if someone thinks I have an iPhone or a Nokia 3310. Why would I?
If there actually were serious ramifications to not having an Iphone in the US, then Android wouldn’t have more than 40% market share.
The only thing you guys have a problem with are pompous snooty egomaniacs who care about the OS on someone else’s phone.
