Why even run Android at that point anymore? iOS devices get security updates for longer and have much less data collection than stock Android.

GrapheneOS won't survive the next generation of devices because bootloader unlocking will also go away (>>44765939 ), and without kernel security updates that OS can't continue.

Now there's also no more sideloading, so what purpose does Android even serve anymore?

iOS does a tremendous amount of data collection including for the usage of ads as per Apple's privacy policy. All the same types of data that stock Android collects, even.

You may believe Apple is a generally better steward of that data than Google, but using iOS does not reduce the amount of data being hoovered up in any meaningful capacity.

I hate this change, but I still prefer Android. iOS is hardly perfect nor does it do everything better...
