Apple is once again advertising on X after more than a year

Yeah, the most "free" option is probably android custom ROMs (anything based on lineageos, I suppose).
There are alternatives that are slowly building up, such as postmarketos, but it's not production ready.
I think KaiOS was a thing for a while, and it's based on FirefoxOS. But you would have to ditch the confort of a real smartphone and I'm not sure it's still active?

Its been wonderful purging all my american owned crap from my smart speakers to reddit. Looking forward to getting a linux desktop for the first time in nearly 10 years!

GrapheneOS

not on the Fairphone.

You can install /e/ on the Fairphone

Agreed, moving away from American tech stuff is becoming a priority.
American oligarchs are no better than the oligarchs who work with putin or Xi. Perhaps even worse because they tend much more dishonest in their rhetoric (constant pompous rants about "changing the world for the better").

I just switched over to Linux Mint and, while it's not perfect, it's so much better than windows.
-
I did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?

All in bed together. Didn’t they both attend Mar A Lago? No way they’re going to separate.

I don't get how this is even worth writing an article about.

FOSS alternatives exist for many Android devices. Apple goes to great lengths to block every alternative on all hardware that isn't mac. I've been on iOS since the 3G, but have just purchased an older pixel to start migrating apps and data to GrapheneOS.
There is no negotiating with fascists.
-
Because they, a company that markets itself as free thinking, are supporting a platform run by a Nazi.
-
Google Pixel + GrapheneOS
-
Tim Apple, Nazi sympathizer.
-
or CalyxOS if you're not too fond of knockoff iOS UI.
-
There’s tons of pictures of Tim hanging out with trump so I think it’s pretty obvious.
-
What the FUCK, Apple?!

The brown ring

also, idk how true this is, but ive seen that google sells pixels at a loss when they’re on sale (they expect to make back the money by spying on you)
so if you were to get a pixel while it’s on sale and install grapheneos on it, not only would you get a nice phone with a secure os, but you’d do so while costing google money. win win win!
