You can include your phone specific model if you want.
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S23, switching from an iPhone 11, because I kinda fear that Apple might turn evil and start banning apps from the app store. I mean I knew about how restrictive iOS was but I kinda just justified it by the increased security that I perceived it to be. But recent events made me realize a corporation can turn from mildly annoying to full-on evil very quickly. With Android, I have the option of avoiding the Google Play Store if they start to do weird things with it. So that’s my story, what about you?
Maybe I’ve gotten lucky, but I’ve messed up flashing many things over the years and never permanently bricked anything. Or maybe it’s less of a risk on modern devices?
Yeah, maybe you are lucky 🙂 I have no clue if modern smartphone are harder to brick, though.
