Recent iphone models have “easily” removable back glass, and it’s actually the main entrypoint for replacing the battery, lowering costs due lower risk of a broken screen (see new google pixels with screens that almost always break on removal)

After this, apple also lowered the cost of most repairs, including on models that don’t get the new replaceable back. the non applecare cost for a battery replacement ranges from 80-100 dollars roughly. which is comparable to the cost of a replacement with even a generic battery from a 3rd party shop.

obviously, because absolutely nobody buys the equivalent products already sold by google and amazon

just so everyone is aware grapheneos only support's pixels because it is specifically designed for taking advantage of the hardware security features found in google's tensor and titan chips. and thus installing it on another phone would kinda miss the point (and vastly increase the scope of the project)

google is also basically the best company when it comes to phones for custom roms, as they provide stock images, a simple bootloader unlocking process (that doesn't void your warranty as far as i can tell), and generally the aosp and software support that comes from being the phone of the developer of android.

stay theory was shut down and absorbed by intercept games

yes and people 4 months ago were like "haha stupid ai art can't draw hands" and now that's just like not a valid argument because the tech has matured to a degree that its pretty reasonable to create something with little to no imperfections, and obviously that will happen again with video

My point is basically that matrix/element is arguable the much more ethical chat solution because of its openess still with a focus on security.

signal protocol is basically the opposite, open source but the company is hostile to 3rd party client development

I'm curious why you want an intel cpu over an amd one
