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.
Texting uses http over the data channel for MMS.
