I feel kinda trapped into iOS. i have a whole ecosystem I’ve been invested in for ages. Plus if I leave my wife will crucify me. also bought this expensive ass phone and that’s it for now.
Well yeah that’s Apple’s whole shtick, making anything only compatible with their own ecosystem with as much lock-in as possible. It’s a genuinely drug dealer-like approach, they’ve even got “the first one’s free” with cheap Ipads and Neo.
Yeah, you’re good. Some people are just bad at expressing themselves.
We all understand the systems that they use to tie you into their walled garden.
Escaping takes time and money now (and it isn’t like PC hardware is cheap currently…). You can still get a cheap tower from whatever marketplace/craiglist service is popular where you live and setup a Linux server and do things that are compatible with your existing devices like pi-hole, Jellyfin, etc.
I know a lot of programmers and sysadmins that use Apple laptops to interface with their Linux backend.
I have been hating on macs since the ipod took off, for the same reasons people are mad at enshittification and lack of control over your own hardware.

That’s precisely why I’ve been avoiding Apple for decades.

What, Apple forbid developers to have their apps on multiple platforms?
By the time they’re done with the app publication process they’re bankrupted

You may not believe this, but I don’t spend my time reading the post history of strangers.
The difference with Linux is that instead of investing money into your ecosystem, you invest your time. What is worth more to you?
Oh I use Linux on my computer, phone is a different story.
