I've had a Galaxy Note 10+ for 3 years and I've now had an S23 Ultra since around February. Not once have I had random apps installed.
I'm with Rogers Wireless in Canada.

Ridgid from Home Depot? That's what I use.
There are 1 billion active users on Instagram and those users were invited to Threads using an existing account. Celebrities, businesses, streamers, etc. all popped up on Threads within the first few hours of public release.
I'm a big nerd and just learned about the fediverse within recent months. Everyone else I know who uses Twitter and Threads have no clue what Mastodon is.

In Canada, for years, you were almost a fool for not upgrading your device every two years. The "regular" plans we all had involved a 2-yr contract in which time your phone would be paid off. But after that term was up, the monthly bill remained exactly the same. It was stupid, but a lot of Canadians just said, "Welp. Might as well upgrade then." Then the CRTC here stepped up and told the big three carriers here to knock it off.
I had a Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ that I held onto for three and a half years. That was the longest I'd ever kept a smartphone. It was going strong too. Alas, I found out security updates were knocked down to quarterly from monthly. And after this year, it would receive nothing more. I reluctantly looked into the Galaxy S23 Ultra as a replacement and thanks to a good deal, I have that phone now. It's an amazing device too and I hope it carries me for another 3+ years.
Correct, RCS is only for Android. Right now it's limited to Google Messages app and Samsung's default texting app.
My wife has an iPhone and I run Android. Been that way for a decade or more now. Never an issue for her what colour my texts were.
And these days we use Telegram. Signal, FB Messenger, WhatsApp... There are dozens of chat apps out there that work cross-platform easily.
I couldn't enjoy Liftoff since it doesn't appear to have gesture support. Connect and WefWef are what I use until Sync for Lemmy is released.
Also, LiftOffs gigantic button at the top is an eyesore. I don't find the UI as well done.
Titanfall 2's campaign. I don't replay a lot of games, but I've played through that one a good few times.
Make sure you keep an eye out for when Sync for Lemmy is released!
Because they're not sand, silly!
