You don’t really own an iPhone in terms of being a computer. It’s different for certain Android phones where you can install a custom OS. Those are also less powerful, however.

iOS is apparently going to have mandatory age gating, so likely that will come to Android as well.

		I was trying to avoid the software side of this argument as it is a worm cannister. I was just musing from a hardware availability point of view. That said.... hopefully at least on Android side you can get a free (as in unchastified) OS to run on it. Until they come for the HW.
