I am repeating myself compared to my previous messages, but when I saw that messaging was going to switch to RCS and that the PinePhone was discontinued, I started researching seriously. I thought that sooner or later, I would probably have to switch to the iPhone, which today seems more respectful of privacy than Android smartphones.
I also heard the president of Signal Meredith Whittaker in a documentary, and it confirmed to me that this app could really interest me the day I have to switch to the iPhone. But when I read your messages, I finally think that it’s quite particular.
I prefer https://meet.jit.si/, unless you tell me that it’s not very clear there either...
That being said, honestly, spending so much on an iPhone for technology I don’t really need is like buying a Porsche 911 just to go to work — it’s nice, but personally, I don’t need it.
That’s also why I wondered if I wouldn’t be better off with a mobile phone with a physical keyboard. It might be more complicated to write messages, but at least I would limit expenses and keep a simpler device.
When I see that today not all TVs run Android, there is Tizen, Titan OS, etc., I hope there will be something on the smartphone side as well, and especially with RISC-V, I hope that won’t take too long and that there will be change... Maybe at that time there will be a new PinePhone...
