I've grown increasingly hateful towards both my Android and iOS devices over the last decade. The platforms themselves are increasingly user-hostile, and their appstores are crammed full of shitty, privacy-invading, telemetry-hoovering, dopamine-triggering, ad-filled, lipstick-covered apps that are often garbage compared to the pioneering days of mobile. I miss the days of my old Palm Pilot.

Is anyone working on fixing this? We can do so much better.

GrapheneOS + F-Droid is a joy to use, for me. I'm kinda shocked when I use anyone else's phone, now.

If they start selling their own devices, I will buy one and (assuming it turns out how I hope it will) recommend it strongly.

How do you access banking and other sensitive apps? If the answer is, you don't, well, you can see how that's a non starter for the vast majority of people.

What's wrong with their web apps? The only real shortcoming I can think of is depositing checks digitally but I haven't had to do that in years.

Unfortunately I have checks to deposit every couple months. And my bank has no physical presence, so the only way I can do it is through the mobile app. (They also accept deposits by mail, but I'm a little wary of that; a lost check would be a huge hassle.)
