Root or get out, I have been rooting since 2020 and I decide what the heck to do with my phone 😁
I mean, the people this was targeted at were Kenyans who otherwise couldn't afford a phone, I don't think the people this applies to can afford to chose a phone model
If I were to simultaneously demand:
that leaves me with no phone at all. Because only popular mainstream models get rooted and they’re all made by the worst companies.
When my current phone loses its usefulness I might even go without. Or possibly get one 2nd hand although the 2nd hand market still supports the 1st hand market.
You could use a FairPhone
I think Fairphone did not exist when I last bought a phone. But you make a good point; I overlooked that. It will probably be my next phone whenever I reach a point where open street maps no longer updates on my phone.
