      Similar to how you can buy a recently used MacBook Pro and install linux on it and have a fucking phenomenal device, that other person hopes the same could be done to their phones.

        I didn’t realize the hardware of an iPhone is superior to hardware of other flagship phones.

          It’s not necessarily the hardware, rather the build quality sometimes appeals to people (i.e. metal finishes, aesthetic, weight)

      I dont need an iphone for that, but the(in my opinion) good hardware of the iphone with free software would be nice. Most linux phones are pretty crap but seeing what asahilinux is on arm macs i would have hope in iphone linux if the hardware was open. Of course its possible people would just port android which isnt the best result as android in my opinion is basically a worse, mostly proprietary version of linux.

        Android still has F-droid and FOSS alternatives to mostly everything, while iPhone is walled garden 101.

          And linux IS foss out of the box no need to use workarounds. Also you get better performance with stock linux most times.
