They used to exist. Xiaomi, Huawei and BBK devices uses to have iOS-like features. Sure, they're not FOSS, but they release their ROM trees. But it's not that. People want to own a status symbol. Conspicuous consumerism, if you get what I'm talking about. People are bullied and shamed for something as simple as having green bubbles.
Also, I'm pretty sure you can add skins to phosh that imitate iOS. Adwaita is very similar to iOS, but the only issue is that it is less aero and more material-ish.
Hm. Thats interesting. I‘ll have a look at it.
You know that Murena also known as /e/ OS does use an iOS design for their LineageOS based ROMs for phones ? All defined icons on the home page. When pressing an icon all the icons will wiggle so you can move them around. I am not sure if this helped to get users to buy their phones or install /e/ OS but just chiming in.
Thanks for the heads up. Not sure either if that has an impact but good to know.
Absolutely yes. Thank you.
Thanks for the positive vibe. People will probably shit on you for not being elitist enough like they often do. Feel free to test it once it works :)
Times when mobile phones were seen to be elitist are past. And if one really understands DEs, you'd not comment in such a hopeless tone.
I‘m not sure I understand. I mean a lot of folks in the linux and foss world dont get the importance of accessibility. Thats why I was happy you gave a positive vibe.
What DE are you currently using on pmos?
Phosh
