Better than I expected.

But I also worry this is the first twist of the dial to boil the frog.

announcing something absurd then dialing it back to something better in comparison seems like a common strategy to making things worse lately.

this change alone would probably have backlash, but since the alternative was androidpocalypse users are relieved instead…

To be fair, old people and less tech-savvy people would download apps from scammers giving them access to everything.

I think this is a reasonable middle ground.

I could not care less about the children lol.

Cool, going to iPhone out of spite.

Black rectangle or white rectangle. What’s the big difference now?

I think the correct answer is to go Motorola+GrapheneOS
Has their graphene compatible device been released yet?
No. It hasn’t even been announced. There has just been mass speculation stemming from some AI-generated blog post.

iPhone where most apps aren’t even allowed to run in the background? Ok lmao.
Making competent users wait a day to install apps they want to install is ridiculous
It’s a one-time wait when you first enable the feature, not a wait each time you want to install something, but yes.
Hoping there might be some adb command to bypass this
But you need developer options to enable ADB… and they are locked behind the 24h period.
One day! Are they stupid???
