Like a smartphone-flavoured West Side Story, it often seems that when it comes to choosing your next phone, you have to pick a side, Android or iOS. But that doesn't have to be the case. While iOS is, of course, unique to iPhones, we've seen companies such as Samsung, Nothing or OnePlus implement their own variants of Android, but fundamentally, they are still similar to Google's operating system. One phone announced at CES 2024 however, dares to be different.
The neutral party in the great Android vs iOS debate, of course, comes from Switzerland. Punkt has revealed the MC02 smartphone, which runs on Apostrophy OS. The operating system has a focus on "empowering users, not leveraging them, so they control how they live their mobile lives on their terms and without conceding personal data for corporate gain" sounds good to us.
