    And because you chose to buy an Apple device, when Android or Linux devices are available, for cheaper even…

      Apple just has better integration for a lot of things, and the UI is just so much better

          uYouEnhanced + YouTube Premium

          I don’t have this problem. The android and iOS YT apps are similar, I was talking about the OS in general

          Not sure what’s wrong with paying for listening to music. Used regional pricing so for me YT premium is like 4€/month. I consider that a pretty good deal.

            I remember downloading some app in highschool off the playstore to make my old ass galaxy note4 UI look like an IPhone X, had identical features and everything. It looked legit to my friends who used them their whole lives. Didn’t really like it but its out there.

            Oh and there’s free apps like Innertune which is basically YT music+

      I bought apple devices because their software support is solid and the user interface is pretty.

      But the limitations were not worth the trade off. As there are now decent alternatives and I’m no longer stuck with just android on the phone side of things anymore. There have been quite a few advancements made in the linux phone area.

      I now have pixel 3a with Ubuntu touch, old thinkpad with linux mint, a steam deck and gaming rig with linux nobara. I got the whole 9-yards. I will using more of linux as time goes on.

          I bought it used. The phone lasts me through alight, I would say it has the capacity for 4 hours of screen on time.

          Though Ubuntu Touch drains more on standby so often when I’m in the mood to try it I have to replug it in.
