ScoffingLizardCan we Degoogle ourselves using an iphone rather than droid? Android is my big hangup right now.
No.
But you may consider rooting/installing a custom ROM.
Doesn’t rooting disable a bunch of apps?
rooting breaks saftey net checks. some services claw back a handful of apps that checks for it but not all.
most usually involve banking, one funny one notorious for breakinf under root is mcdonalds app. nintendo games usually break under it, but can often easily be bypassed.
