In my experience you either have to trade one devil for the other with Apple or accept buying hardware from the ad company so you can use GrapheneOS.

There are more options than GrapheneOS with broader device support, such as Calyx or LineageOS.

But if you use Android already, you can start by using F-Droid (or others) to install apps to find FOSS replacements for apps you use.

Searching for "Calyx" got me a lot of results that had nothing to do with the Android ROM, so for the convenience of anyone else reading this thread their URL is https://calyxos.org/
