You don't know the middle ground (between dumb-phones and the tracking smartphones)? Never heard of de-googled (Android) phones? Or independent OSes for smartphones like PostmarketOS? Or even ported Linux flavours like Ubuntu of Manjaro?
Of course not on iPhones. Apple owns the hardware and thus keeps its obedient disciples locked.

I watched part this video (possibly as a result of Visvanaths link) and I was slightly puzzled by the tone. I didn't understand why people would be surprised at the behaviour and tactics of Apple.
I take the view that Capitalists are going to Capitalise and the purpose of large companies is to relieve the maximum number of people of the maximum amount of money and if it results in any societal good then that is (sort of) nice, but fairly irrelevent.
For full disclosure I have been running Graphene OS https://grapheneos.org/ on my mobile phone for a couple of years now, still feel caught up in the Google monopoly and have just posted on Mastodon (about #Raspberry Pi/Moodlebox and a Google built Large language model)....

Search on #MoodleBox #AIText #Moodle for my other musings
Oh yes and I took my current job partly because of the focus on OpenSource and I am typing on a Chrome (google) browser running on Ubuntu Linux.
