With iOS 26.3, Apple is making it simpler for iPhone users to transition to an Android smartphone, with new built-in tools for transferring data. The new transfer tool allows an iPhone user to place their device next to an Android device to initiate a transfer process. With the two smartphones connected, users can opt to move over photos, messages, notes, apps, passwords, phone number, and more. Data transfers occur with no need to download and use a separate app, making the process simpler.

    Honestly, this is the sort of thing hhat gives me more confidence in a product nowadays. If I’m not stuck with a product, and moving away is really easy, there’s less incentive for entshitification.

    Sadly, with only 2 realistic players in the game, this barely makes a difference.

      I Just pre-ordered the new Sailfish OS phone from Jolla - which is pretty much just Linux

      Hopefully that (and some others) will bring some diversity…

        Thinking about getting a linux phone/ phone with a degoogled ROM at some point in the future. Do you know if apps like Google Wallet, Samsung Wallet, or any other of those e-wallet apps would work?
