    Unfortunately, I do need a phone that can run apps. I can argue all day about how coercive and how much it sucks that so much services that I have to use regularly need only run on mainstream OS phones.

      Try to boycott all non-standard interfaces whenever you can. If not boycotting means becoming complicit in establishing totalitarian regimes world-wide (and if you consequently think this through, this is the unavoidable outcome of surrendering all our data to truly empathyless and greedy billionaires), then the hoops you have to jump through to make a boycott work do not seem such a bad trade-off after all. Using corporately configured smartphones is a very strong support of totalitarian monsters, if not outright fascists.
