And that’s fine, but first people like you (and me to some extent) are in the vast minority and that’s also not an issue of bloatware per se.

Even pixel or Fairphone is fairly free of bloatware compared to Samsung and shitty Chinese brands as long as you are not privacy paranoid about Google services.

Doesn’t really matter to a regular user, in that case it’s"Firefox doesn’t work"

Yeah I didn’t mean gps as in navigation, Inreach is a dedicated satellite communicator. I meant I wouldn’t trust an iPhone for emergency communication if I plan to go somewhere extremely remote

Or you know, just get a dedicated gps device like Inreach for a a few hundred $ one time + gps plan as you need. I wouldn’t rely on my iPhone for truly expedition like situations you actually plan for.
