I'm really struggling with this one. I'm increasingly unhappy with Apple's bullying and the only other option I have is a company that may brick my device at any moment because "machine learning".

There's seriously got to be a better way. I want to get a Pine Phone but they don't sell them with service where I live yet..

I've had good results with LineageOS-microg. Obviously I would prefer a 100% free OS, but you can't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Make sure you back up the stock rom first, you might need it later.

Wow that's amazing, will definitely take a look!
