All the smartphone vendors do that. I have lost several iOS apps I once bought, because the developer chased to regularily update his app, which eventually killed it.

Except those selling GNU/Linux phones running desktop operating systems. Sent from my Librem 5.


I don't think the Librem 5 is good enough at being a phone to be properly referred to as a phone.


It depends on your needs. Far from an iPhone but good enough to be my daily driver.


How's the battery management these days?


One day in suspend and 4-5 hours screen time. Not much, but usable. Also the battery is replaceable without tools.


yes, my needs for a phone includes phonecalls and 5G. it's quite a niche to be fair.


Phone calls are basically flawless on the Librem at this point. 5G is indeed lacking.
