I did only a quick search really but couldn’t find if any major android phone manufacturers had stopped advertising on there?
FOSS alternatives exist for many Android devices. Apple goes to great lengths to block every alternative on all hardware that isn't mac. I've been on iOS since the 3G, but have just purchased an older pixel to start migrating apps and data to GrapheneOS. I wish Pine phone had GOS, but it is what it is.
There is no negotiating with fascists, and Apples #1 market is the US. There is no chance in hell they will defy or deny fascism.
My question is less about the OS than it is the manufacturers paying to advertise on X. Buying from them is supporting X indirectly.
Buy used Pixel or other phone that supports open Android OS, company gets none of your $$.
