its locked App Store.

I have bad news for you if you are planning to switch to what I think you are...

Edit: ironically posted this from my Android phone.

Apple is already at the bad news stage and has been for years. Android is headed towards it, but people can make decisions to get hardware that is unlocked and has community support to install another OS on it. Devices that can already be unlocked and has custom roms will keep working with the ability to install apks without restriction.

My netizen on the internet, GrapheneOS (what I am currently using), PostmarketOS, and LineageOS are all right over on Android devices - alongside alternate app stores like F-Droid, Accrescent, and anonymous play store front ends like Aurora.

Let's not spread lies here, m'kay?
