Thanks Marc for a through response to my question. I agree fully with your response. My desire to wean away from Apple has been growing for a year. Tech companies like Apple and Google gave us a “fantastic” product but little did we know at the time the deceit of selling our data was the goal. Now I want “out”.
I have no education in computer science and cannot write a script using sudo or / which will be necessary to enable some things to work on my /e/ device. Perhaps the e community can help in this regard.
Hopefully to begin this process is to purchase a phone compatible with the e OS, install the OS, switch the Apple sim card into the e phone and boot. Then I can slowly work on different applications a little at a time to achieve what I would like the phone to do. While working on this I can switch the sim card back into my Apple device when necessary.
Anything more you can contribute or share with me Marc would be helpful and thanks again for the reply.
Take care.
