Apple Pre-Event Mega Thread - Lemmy.world

It’s almost that time! With the Apple event happening tomorrow, we’ll use this mega thread to talk about expectations, predictions, and anything else related to the big event. Tomorrow, we’ll have a live event thread to discuss each announcement as it happens.

If it has USB C and a 10x optical zoom I’m almost guaranteed to swap from Android to Apple finally. Google’s BS around making ads part of DRM or whatever was the last straw.

If you don’t use tap to pay and can muscle your way through documentation, GrapheneOS is easily installable on all relatively current Pixel devices. But yeah, I’m not a fan either and as long as I’m on Android, that might tip me back again to using Graphene instead of stock Android.

I thought of that and looked through the steps to do it and I’m pretty sure I’m past the age of me wanting to try. There was a day it would have been something I couldn’t wait to do but I’m pretty sure I’m ~10 years past that day.

Yeah, there’s a bit of a barrier. But getting it actually installed is a breeze. Chromium browser that supports WebUSB is all you need to get it flashed.

Them sure are pretty words. I feel like I’ll get myself in a lot of trouble with a bricked phone.

I know it sounds intimidating, but the install page walks you through the process step by step. As long as the browser can see your phone, you can flash it with a few button clicks.
