Later this august, actually. Yes, I am aware of it. I really like Fedora, so I’m going to give it a spin ASAP.

That’s preposterous. Even the new ARM Macs let you install Linux (although they don’t supply any drivers, leave the devs to reverse engineer everything, which means the only currently supported Linux distro is Asahi Linux (Arch). But thats still better than locking the BIOS/whatever bootloader Chromebooks use.)
ChromeOS has been out for over a decade. Its not “new”, many schools actually used it before the pandemic.
Huh, that could work pretty well! Gaskets would need to be secured and sealed well though, and I fail to imagine what an iPhone or any other modern device would look like with a removable battery lol.
How? Currently, waterproofing works by slathering every crack and crevice in a sea of glue. Glue and easily replaceable batteries don’t mix.
Shit ain’t working
True, I haven’t thought of that. It would work perfectly for light use. You would have to forgo social media when not in range of wifi though (such as while on the bus) and phone calls without wifi (assuming you will use Google Voice, TextNow, or something similar) though. Some people are willing to make that sacrifice, but I think the majority of people will see this as a major turn-off.
Nice! But it won’t be a full fledged phone replacement for most people because of using the phone (such as for GPS/music/podcasts) in the car where there is no wifi access.
No SIM, not even e-SIM could be a problem.
If you want to get away from just Google, you can try iCloud or whatever Microsoft calls their Mail product now. If you want to get away with big tech run products, I recommend Proton. Of course you can always go full tinfoil hat and host your own email server with your own domain, but that will set you back at least 7 bucks a year, even if you for the cheapest register (Cloudflare, they don’t add their own fees at all, so you can’t really go lower).
