Tell me more about the phone! This has taken so long and I am ready to migrate to an open phone even if it's only for texting at this point.

Screw this OS monopoly by Apple and Alphabet.

Open to simple solutions here. I have a Pixel 4a 5g and iPhone 15 Pro* atm.

your pixel probably runs graphene, degoogle it.

you could probably run linux on it today too.

What's keeping me from doing this is that i won't be able to run my banking apps anymore then. And I can't be arsed to carry two phones

Install waydroid or something or use the browser. The more you put off switching the worse it's going to get for everyone. You can also just keep another phone in your car on airplane mode and connect it to your hotspot when you need to check your account. There are ways I guess.
