Thankfully Jonathan was able to take it to an independent repair shop for a $75 CAD adhesive fix (and battery replacement?) despite Apple’s restrictions against them.

Boycott Apple. Like they got you, they’ve tricked you into using whatever hardware of theirs you own…but that doesn’t mean you have to buy Apple next time.
I’ve been using Apple for seven-eight years. I left android because of poor update support from the major manufacturers. I don’t want to go back to android because Google has moved to being primarily an advertising company. Any suggestions for an alternative?

They removed audio jack
GrapheneOS is really solid. You can use a Google Pixel with absolutely no Google spy shit on it and still have a great experience just by slapping GrapheneOS on it.
I went from shoulder-deep in Apple’s walled rectum to 100% Apple free and GrapheneOS on a Pixel 5 was the first step I took. Haven’t lpoked back at all.
New Samsung phones (at least the flagships) are getting 7 years of updates.
Samsung phones are so full of bloatware it’s insane

I love the idea of being able to disconnect enough for dumb phones to be an option. Unfortunately, I need to have access to email/chat and a specific mfa app for work
Android isn’t all Google. You can degoogle by installing different versions of Android just like there are different versions of Linux. Grab a pixel 6 or 7 and install graphene. There are alternatives to play store like fdroid, your mfa app should still work.
Oneplus, they have pretty good hardware. They support their devices for a pretty good amount of time, and the development Community for those phones is extremely strong. Even if one plus abandons you for some reason you can just get lineage OS almost guaranteed.
Google has always been primarily an advertising company
Anything android that has lineage or similar community support. It’s not the same but you won’t have your balls getting squeezed by apple
