Your data is YOUR data!
An iPhone or an Android smartphone collects several megabytes of your personal data every day to Google Servers, even when it is inactive.
Murena smartphones have been designed to offer a different approach to users who care about privacy and data-hungry handsets.
Those smartphones are running the open-source “/e/OS” operating system, which is fully “deGoogled”: by default it doesn’t send any data to Google and it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience.
/e/OS is paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your Murena smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.
I hate how /e/os looks so much like IOS. If i wanted IOS i would buy an iphone. That launcher and those icons make me never want to install it ever.
You can install your own launcher - I prefer the KISS launcher, which is great at getting out of your way and just do exactly what you want it to do as efficiently as possible.
I don’t know how iOS looks, so no problem for me.
To be fair most people saying “[android/OEM skin] looks like iOS” also don’t know how iOS looks, they just think that having squircles and blur is being an iOS clone
I personally use it with Neo Launcher, which is FOSS, set it up to show round icons for this very reason you’re pointing out. Once done, the experience is great!
Believe they are reworking the launcher, Bliss, in an upcoming update
I agree but there are tons of other options if you prefer the look of Android. /e/OS is a good option for Apple users.
