Hope Valve comes up with something eventually

That could be interesting. I want to see how SteamOS goes, but the potential is grand.

In terms of the iPhone being locked down, I’m not sure what you’re looking to do but I personally managed to get ad-free Reddit, YouTube and YouTube music ad-free (+sponsorblock) just using apps from the App Store. All of them free or one-time payment of 3 euros. It was actually easier to do than with Android where I had to “sideload” stuff from GitHub since Android is owned by google and all frontends to their programs are banned.

As long as you get yourself an email that isn’t iCloud you can also take all your contacts and email with you wherever you want. Then you can install KDE Connect as you would on Android and can send files freely between you phone and Pc.

This is all to say, I don’t feel more locked down on the iPhone than on Android, which was a surprise for me.

If android goes the way it’s going, then iPhone is the obvious choice.

Literally the story of Monopoly the board game.
