> * iPhone and Android being the only 2 choice when it comes to phones

Not exactly true. Sent from my Librem 5.

Technically true, sure. Let me rephrase it to "iPhone and Android being the only 2 real choices when it comes to phones". My definition of real here would be that

1) non tech people should have heard about it and

2) when institutions like banks force users to use their app, they actually make an app for this platform.

What, does your Librem 5 not have a web browser?

I thought I was pretty clear when I said "force users to use their app". It's a trend more and more banks have started following.

Unless the bank forces SafetyNet, I can run the app with Waydroid. I switched banks when I had that problem.

My point still stands. How many non tech people do you know that will switch to a Librem Phone? Or know it even exists? Or will muck around with Waydroid? And eventually we might not even have a choice to switch banks.

Yes, this is exactly why I'm trying to spread the word about it, and everyone that cares should join.
