Recently got a pixel as a secondary work phone and was reminded that I actually kinda like android (my main is an iPhone). Problem is mostly that I don’t want an even higher level spyware device. Of course I could use graphene but I use Apple Pay, find my / AirTags regularly and I also would need to find good alternatives to iCloud, and photos which I honestly kind of like. I suppose I could possibly get a pixel watch and get around the pay limitations but maybe some users who have switches might have some general insight.
Edit: I guess my best option right now is to stick with my current plan of both devices and maybe see what oem graphene partners with and if that somehow changes anything
I’d argue being between proprietary platforms is keeping your options open, not being in purgatory. I wouldn’t try to synergize privacy with online payments at a tap IRL beyond Apple. Until there’s a like, seamless tap crypto-pay (which will never happen, Visa would NEVER allow its monopoly to break, they pay Apple Google search monopoly money to still go through them) your best bet to be least spied on while paying with a phone is Apple.
