You can buy a used phone that will give no money to Google. I also hope for it to come to other smartphones, but not at the cost of compromised privacy and security. The reason that GrapheneOS only runs on Pixels is that they support the specific hardware requirements of GrapheneOS, including having an unlockable and relockable bootloader which is pretty cool of Google. I am sure that the GrapheneOS team would love to move on from being tied to a specific vendor's hardware and are working with Motorola to do just that.

I think most people are talking about individuals purchasing them for college, not necessarily middle/high schools assigning them. Maybe they could get them cheaper in bulk.

This. I went to a broke, small school and we were assigned Chromebooks. When I was younger some teachers had a few iPads, but they were old and mostly used for games when we got our assignments done. We didn't do work on them the way we did the Chromebooks in middle/high school.

As someone who graduated from high school in 2025 I completely agree with this. I am glad I had to work it out on my own, and I don't think this is a place that a school should take control. If I had to figure this out along with the stress of college, I don't know if I would be able to handle it. I also think that it has helped with my overall time management skills and prioritizing my time.

I know not everyone will have the same experience as me, but I just feel like learning to manage it on my own was overall beneficial for me in the end.

They recently allowed emulators, like RetroArch, to be on the app store. They still require the emulators to be written in Swift AFAIK. Still quite a bit more restrictive than Android, but they have slowly been opening up.
