 It’s kinda cool and kinda sad (at least for me) that the distance between android nostr and iOS nostr is growing larger. 

There’s so many cool projects out there and I’ll only ever get to play with half of them. 😅 
 Leave the heavens and come play with the devil 
 🤣🤣 been using one while building White Noise some. I don’t dislike it. 
 I left iOS after 10 years and moved to Andriod. Nostr was a driving factor. 
 Interesting 
 Is Nostr going to be really good for android and iphone? Because people will want both? That is the question for the future of nostr LOL 
 It’s already really good for both. It’ll keep getting better for sure! 
 There should be a meme for “Looks for an open-source phone OS to get away from Apple, finds Graphene, but then finds out can only run on Google hardware” :-) 
 So...next time you need to upgrade your phone, switch to Google, load #GrapheneOS and you'll (finally) be free! 😃 

(And you'll spend a LOT less than upgrading that "spyPhone") 
 Is Google > Apple? 
 For hardware? Absolutely. 

Better security, lower price.

And then #grapheneOS on top.

Seriously, think of it this way--you load Linux on someone else's hardware. AND that hardware comes with a base set of requirements needed by Linux in order to function.

To meet the security requirements of graphene (which is why most of us want to use it) most hardware manufacturers devices don't meet that specification.

If you want to have a less secure phone, you can certainly load #lineageOS that works with multiple hardware vendors.

But why would you want to do that?

If you're going to break away from Apple and Google, wouldn't you want to use the very best and most secure hardware out there as a starting point? 
 less than half lol... silly apple fan 
 Open source for the win. DeGoolag a Pixel with #GrapheneOs. Then use #zap.store for your apps. Life is sweet cos you is freer my friend. Ditch the fruit. Apart from nostr:nprofile1qqs2gazhwghppw36yu0muuzqykdrcndzeafml50pnqfcy9xjx5rylssppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7qgmwaehxw309ahx7um5wghx7unpdenk2urfd3kzuer9wchsg3ewyk for KYC3 sats 
 Pixels are shit devices that overheat and underperform. I have a degoogled and rooted pixel with lineageos 
 Yep, I have a Oneplus 6 with lineage is. The pixel with Graphene is better 
 Is graphene better? I like how on lineage there’s an option for an all black dark mode. 
 Yes Graphene is way better 
 I have an a pixel 9 with Grapheme and I'm very happy with it.

No need for a google account or YouTube account. 
Clipius for YouTube
Aurora or Obtainium for app store. 
 Try out zap.store it's good. I use Pipepipe instead of YouTube and Ri music 
 Thanks 
 Does newpipe still work? 
 I believe so I just like Pipepipe
 
 You need Graphene OS for better security.  
 Yep. We don't have any zapstore, amber and etc. 
 I feel this as a lifelong Apple user it’s very hard for me to want to switch. But it’s about time  
 I have always used macOS (or whatever it was called before) and owned an iPhone 3/4, but then I switched to Android both because it is more configurable and because I wanted to force myself out the comfort zone of a closed ecosystem. I absolutely do not regret the choice. 
 looks like ios users are gonna be a minority on nostr, thinking of moving to bsky now
