I've used samsung for all of my smartphones until my latest (when I switched to oneplus), but it's still an android phone. No way would I switch to ultra-locked-down apple.

Ye oneplus is great you just need a dns to block those chinese queries over vpn for example because it wont allow you to change the dns manually. (op8)

Yeah I have some serious ethical issues with Apple. I've never bought any of their products and never will. Aside from the anti-competitive walled garden of their tech and exorbitant cost of their products, their labor practices violate human rights in low cost labor markets. However Google and their partners such as Samsung are not free from guilt either. Unfortunately there's little choice in phone products, Android or iOS, pick your poison.

The major brands selling Android phones also lock things down, but at least I can do things like install apps outside the app store. I can also do Android development without having to buy a Mac and pay a license fee.

You have root access in pixel phone and can install custom ROMs like graphene OS.
