Couple years back decided to go with an iPhone instead of an android for my upgrade. Quickly found out Android is the superior OS in almost every way - and that Apple really does just rely on being a status symbol and its brand appeal.
It’s the most stripped down restrictive phone I’ve ever used, It looks very slick all over, but that’s about the best I can say about it.
Will never get the appeal these things have, and people should be smarter than this bullshit
A workaround I found is to use the youtube website inside of brave browser, it has some built in blocking features that seem to get the ads for now. You have to uninstall the youtube app to prevent the phone from forcing you into the app whenever you click on a video though
