Why not just get an iPhone then?

Because:

- I prefer running FOSS apps on my smartphone

- I want to be able to install anything I want on it without relying on what is accepted by a "store"

- I don't want an Apple account

- I want to own and be able to have the shit I want running in the background (like syncthing)

- I want to be able to access my file the way I want, including using a shell

- I want to be able to run any linux app

- and more inportantly I want to be the owner of my phone, not merely the user of a license to use it following the term set by a company from an hostile nation
