True, somewhat... but on the iPhone, many functions that seem like basic things are tied to Apple's services and cannot easily replaced by selfhosted services. This phone would not work properly anymore.
other than texting and calling idk what else I would use that isnt selfhosted :)
In the other reply, you said something about GPS.
Well, location services aren't really GPS anymore.
The phone looks at all of it's radio environment (cell and WiFi and whatnot) and from that it calculates it's location. GPS may help a little, too, but it's not important.
It needs Apple's own databases to do that: collections of all antennas in the world, and their known locations.
Hmmm. That could be what's slowing down the GPS locking on my old android phone I use for my fitness app.
No SIM card or WiFi access. Takes a good 20 min just to get a GPS lock.
That means it fucks up my distance monitoring and time intervals, if I don't have patience to wait, which I honesty don't!
The app is basically a fancy timer at this point.
;)
In that case, your phone needs to "see" at least 4 satellites at the same time (more is even better) to get the first GPS lock, and that's probably why you need to wait for so long.
It could help to walk to a spot with no buildings, trees etc.
Once there was an app called "GPS essentials" to help with that.
Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.
