I’m an iOS user too. I’d switch the day there’s a nice little Android smartphone that’s compatible with a Google-free OS (and by “little,” I mean under 5.8 inches, I don’t have giant hands).

I would add DeepinOs in an ultra-modern, automatic-opening building shaped like a trash can.

The screen is huge for a phone. This type of screen resolution can damage the eyes on a large screen (the lower the dpi, the greater the strain on the eyes to bring the screen into focus).

6.7" with 1600x720 is crazy in 2025.

How is mapy with regard to confidentiality?

Proton Pass already has built-in authentication keys. The proton auth application is more for those who want to separate dual authentication from their password manager, or for those who don’t use proton services but want to have a european dual authentication application. But I admit that the separation of services into multiple applications confuses the issue.

I understand your point of view, but I think that in today’s society, a company can’t afford to fall too far behind when it comes to current uses. I’m perfectly aware of the risks that AI brings, but if it can enable some people to find a -private- way out of American AI, I think it’s a good thing.

Honestly, Proton Pass is the best choice for me. Easy to use, super comprehensive. It’s the best service provided by Proton in my opinion.

Basically Google Maps by Apple on iOS

Indeed, that's a good question 🤔 An interesting solution might have been to leave the app free and make certain functions like speed cameras or real-time traffic accessible with the €1/year subscription. (I'm not saying it's a good solution, it's just an idea)

For my part, I'm more concerned about the "subscription" aspect. I'd have been prepared to pay €10 to get Magic Earth for life. But at 99 cents a year, it doesn't seem like much, and there's no guarantee that it'll become monthly or more expensive, for example.

Exactly !

On the other hand, I find Magic Earth rather poor when it comes to POIs, finding an establishment, finding out the opening hours of a place, and so on.

In the end, I use CoMaps + Apple Plans for points of interest and timetables, and Magic Earth for navigation.

If you're talking about Magic Earth: no. Despite the fact that Magic Earth is based on OpenStreetMap and has a quite good privacy policy, the application remains closed-source.
