A Big-tech free phone os sounds really appealing, but for me, a lack of mobile payment would be a reason to seriously consider sticking with ios when my current phone needs replacement.
Not with GPay. That won’t work with custom roms. Found that out after installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel.
For me, it wasn’t too much of a change to switch back to paying with an EC card again. Better than continuing to give all my payment infos to US companies like Google and Visa.
I suppose switching back to a card wouldn’t be a total disaster, but it wouldn’t improve privacy unfortunately. My banks debit cards use vpay anyway (and as far as I know all of them use either vpay or maestro) so US companies will know about all our payments either way…
Does e-os support mobile payments yet?
