A high end phone with a headphone jack and Linux that works with banking apps.
Agreed, sadly not a technical problem but a business one. Unless governments step it I don't see this changing.
It will eventually but of course it depends what is really meant by "high end".
As the decades roll by I find I care less and less about "high end" and more and more about avoiding bullshit. While presently the portion of people who would buy such a phone is too few to make manufacturing viable, I suspect that portion will grow in the coming decades as millennials get older.
wait til he learns what android is
I am using Android right now, it's very locked down - not that it's not the lesser of two evils.
Why do you need a headphone jack? Any DAC in a phone is going to be useless if youβre saying because of HiFi Audio. And when it comes to using a HiFi DAC Iβd much rather just use a USB-C powered port for my headphones.
iOS is based off of Darwin which was based off of BSD Linux. So was MacOS for that matter.
I'd like a headphone jack because it interfaces with the handful of devices I have that also have one, some of which are not easily replaced - like my 10 year old car.
Comparing iOS to Linux is like saying cats and dogs are the same. Like sure maybe at a really high level in that they are both operating systems but similarities end there. The biggest and most glaring difference being open source vs. proprietary. Even android which is actually based on Linux is a far cry from typical Linux experience and leaves me wanting more freedom to tinker outside of the walled garden.
My phone has a Hi-fi DAC. One of several reasons I haven't "upgraded".
Why does it need to be high-end or Linux if all you're gonna do is render some banks' webviews?
If you root/jailbreak your phone, banks will no longer allow you to use it for payments. The NFC chip won't be trusted any longer.
There is a Magisk module that bypasses that on Android. Look up SafetyNetFix.
Good tip but definitely does not work 100% of the time, I used different bypass methods and some worked for one app but blocked another again. It's possible if you know some code but to maintain it it's not worth it IMO. Where I live being hacked is covered by insurance but if you bypassed root restrictions they definitely won't be on your side.
Easily fixable, also I think KSU exists for this reason? And seems like another alternative is on the way.
OK, but that's not a "banking app."
That's not all I'm going to do, I want to be able to run stable diffusion and nationwide on the same device in my pocket.
So, two webviews.
No, locally.
So you just want proprietary Qualcomm software?
No, where did I say that?
