To be additionally fair, Android still has phones out there in use that still dont have the RCS feature, and never will because those phones are no longer supported.

I don’t think ive heard about any privacy issues regarding modems. They convert your data into the Level 1 format so that it can be moved to the next hop. There isn’t really anything to spy on, and its very hardware dependent (hence no open source software that can standardize across each device). There might be open source modems out there, but your ISP probably doesn’t support them.

cuz I don’t have a ps5?

No idea what that means 😂

Iron enables the genocide.

Not really a hard choice for sane people.

Get fucked, advertisers.

I hope they figure it out. Sincerely.

S5 was not IP68

Oh forgive me. I wasn’t aware this device existed. Very good. Unfortunate its an Samsung phone, so it probably doesn’t meet the requirements to run GrapheneOS.

But good to see it can have a replaceable battery and be IP68 rating.

Im refusing to accept the idea because it doesn’t exist. Who manufactures one?

Maintenance is never free, so im okay with a service fee every four years rather than buy new phones every time they get wet. Im not saying my particular view is right for everyone, but its what I want. I get why people want replaceable batteries. No problem with it. I just would rather not have them. So if there is an option for both models, one with, and one without that feature, this is a win for everyone. If not, and only one or the other is implemented, then its going to suck for whoever is in the party that got left out.

Well then I like my phones a little bit more expensive then since they’re certified. Gives me peace of mind.

Ive needed the IP68 rating a handful of times. I have needed a new battery zero times on my 4 year old phone. If I need the battery replaced, Ill just take it to apple and have them swap it out.

Its still at 70% usability, which still lasts me all day.

None of those phones are IP68 rating

Hopefully they keep selling a phone with no user replaceable battery. Id rather have the weather proofing than a battery i need to swap out one time after owning the phone for over 4 years.

As you wish. But maybe open up to some new perspectives.

What does a healthy opinion of F-Droid look like though? Lol

Well, then its still 2FA. Something you are and something you have.

The website has to build in support for them. Youll start seeing it more over time.
