I have used iPhone SE as a daily driver, and i can safely say. That i definitely don't miss it.

I like having free apps and doing some actual file management, as well as OTG support. These are things all iPhones lack and it shows.

Great video. There are lot of limited FOSS apps on iOS, at least in my experience. I will download some of these apps! Can’t wait for the next one

[cos-]

What about the Brave browser, Henry? I think it is a good option too for iOS.

[kinkykoala]

Didn't know about Lockdown yet, but totally gonna try it. Just assumed that iOS restricts things like that. Thanks!

[rhonin]

Nice list. Thanks!
I use 3 of the 7 listed apps on my 13 Pro Max today.

[ashutoshpandey]

can you suggest me FOSS alternative of Google Photos and Drive

[benjotest]

If i use lockdown i cant use vpn at same time?

[staryKaszeb]

Great job. Maybe you know alternative app fot YT? I need play in background and post comments.

[ignshadexx]

is FreeOTP okay as an two-factor auth app?

[tcideh]

Mfw when I already have all of them 😄
Good vid

Are iCloud Notes encrypted? If not I’m in need of a FOSS alternative for Apple Notes

[Jakuzziful]

lol I just wrote you guys earlier this day that lockdown uses mobile-data and asked if you know this behavior is normal because in my understanding there should be no data usage. My iOS settings tracked 3, 6GB of mobile data usage from Lockdown in ca. 5 months. Wi-fi not included!

[Teslawaverunner]

Unfortunately Lockdown isn’t automatic in reality. Every time you use a VPN service on iOS the lockdown app goes offline and needs manually reinstating ( if I remember !)

[lifeofsui]

idk about lockdown...the firewall is ok but it takes the vpn slot and i think it more or less does same thing that adguard does

[WOLFohfficial]

What’s the big deal of open source ? I don’t get it. And what’s A Foss?

[C-Handle]

LockDown alternative suggestion for Android?

[mrcrypto]

Secure, private etc included also in that I want a small smart phone 📱. I do NOT want to drag the "modern flat-screen size smartphone" society pretends we are supposed to have. But on that matter there are not much good options out there, which also are easily accessible.

Librem 5, PinePhone, Pixel 3/4, PRO1-x, de-googled Motorola are kind of HUGE!

Can u make a video 📹 review / test of a smaller smartphone alternative? Cubot King Kong Mini, Conquest F2, Huawei V5p, or even iPhone 12 Mini (as iPhone SE 1st & 2nd generation are timed ⌚ out)?

I bet a lot of people will/could be interested in iPhone 12 Mini, but making it as safe&secure&private (as one can be with Apple iOS aka 🔤agency backdoor 🚪capability these days)... What do you say Techlore?
