Yes, I’m the one in the group DM that turns the bubbles green, I’m sorry.

But other than that, I don’t hear many other reasons why people actually prefer iPhones over Androids. What other reasons are there?

    Couldn’t find anything about that online, could you please give me the source of that information?

      I homebrew the ROM on my personal phone and I can tell you from first hand experience that you need the vendor dirs extracted from the OEM ROM. You can read up on that on the wiki pages for building any device ROM.

      You can also come to that conclusion the other way around: How else would you (or LOS maintainers) get your hands on proprietary blobs full of secret sauce that vendors sometimes even try to actively block access to?

        Yeah this is a good point. Tbh I wish there was right to repair legislation around this. If you’re not going to maintain it, you should be required to open source it, and you’re not allowed to brick people’s devices as a workaround.

        Nothing is keeping apple from dropping support in the same way, I’m kinda surprised how long they maintain support.
