ApostrophyOS: A new privacy and security focused mobile OS

www.digitaltrends.com I used a new type of smartphone that could replace Android | Digital Trends

Android and iOS are the two choices you have when you buy a smartphone today. But what if there was a third one? Enter Apostrophy OS.

Looks like it's taken some principles from GrapheneOS and other alternative ROMs.

What're your first impressions?
What questions/concerns do you have?
Any other thoughts?

Starting from the home screen, your main home page on Apostrophy OS is called the “Domus.” It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.
So far, not so good...
- A VPN from someone i've heard for the first time?
  Count me in!!
  
  lol I thought about that too
- "Trust OUR random servers for maximum security! We have no credibility yet but we will soon, trust us!"
- This sounds like an absolute nightmare!
- Yeah, not trusting corporations with your data? Don't worry, just trust us, a small unknown company
- Oh dear…

This honestly feels like some 3-month early April fool's joke. A smartphone more dependent on an external set of servers than what Google already has.

FBI OS
- Anom 2.0
- Yeah, this screams ArcaneOS 2.0

This author is so ignorant, how are they a tech writer if they know nothing about AOSP and android?

pure shit

Good let's replace android with android and run all the traffic over rando servers..
What a brilliant idea.

I'd use Sailfish long before this thing. And it has a track record as an OEM replacement, though not on many phones.

I would like to know the price of the yearly subscription, and if the PUNKT Legend will ever be made.

Yeah nah... Sticking with GOS loool
