I mean, they are all bad, but looks like Apple is not "harder to repair".There are enough cross compile frameworks available. Sideloading is comming in the EU, i think till 2025.
> How about a development system built in to the phone so you could add a keyboard and a mouse and write an app, compile it, and install it without ever leaving the phone?
Will officially be possible with sideloading.
> How about a 1/8" jack so I can listen privately on $15 wired buds from one of 1000 different suppliers without paying $300 for buds that are going to become e-waste as soon as their batteries refuse to charge?
Use 15$ Bluetooth Buds from the 1000 different suppliers? Or use the dongle.
> How about being able to replace the main battery myself, in my home, without trashing the entire fu*king phone?
Is already officially possible.
> How about selling the phone with a decent protective case that still allows the Qi charger to work?
The Leather Case for example is working perfectly fine with Qi Charging.
> How about using formal methods to ensure some Israeli spyware group cannot constantly find zero-days in my phone and put my life in danger without constant after-the-fact patch-and-pray security upgrades?
All software will be exploited. Did you see how suffisticated the last exploit was? They build and own software cpu to execute their payload.
Ansible/Puppet or NixOS would be better, but this is what works in Self Hosting.
