  • Nope. I have some that I used as a kid, and sometimes I reuse them when I can’t think of a new one for some throwaway service.

    The idea of having an alternate online persona doesn’t appeal to me at all, nor does the idea of being well known or recognized in general. I don’t go out of my way to remain untraceable or anything cool like that, but switching up usernames every once in a while is easy to do.

    Despite the issues, and knowing that a different phone would get me a much better value at a lower price, I was going to buy one of these.

    …but then I saw it wasn’t available in the US. So I went with a (used) Pixel 7 on ebay instead. Considering this is the 5th iteration and they still don’t have a US variant, I’m not going to get my hopes up. I know Murena sells a US variant of the Fairphone 4, but apparently it uses the same exact modem, so using it in the US will result in connectivity issues.

    at least I’m recycling!











  • I have an iPhone as my only phone, and a Pixel sitting in a closet. Not sure why I’d want to use both. Emulation on mobile isn’t something I do anymore, but if I did, it is possible to sideload on iOS with some extra effort. It’s not as easy as Android, but I’d say it’s worth considering before deciding to go with two phones.

    You can use either the official Apple sanctioned way, where you manually install via Xcode every few weeks or pay $100/year for a dev certificate, OR use something like SideStore. No jailbreaking required.
