Apostrophy OS is a new smartphone operating system aiming to be a third choice between Android and iOS.
The OS is based on Android but heavily modified for user privacy, offering complete control over personal data.
Apostrophy OS features a unique home screen called the "Domus," a customizable home screen called the "Piazza," and a suite of apps and services focused on privacy.

It’s a grayscale page with shortcuts for the Aphy Store (Apostrophy’s own app store), your calendar, contacts, Apostrophy’s VPN service, your files, email, and more. You can’t customize anything on this page, and everything you do here is run through Apostrophy’s servers for maximum security.

Jfc. They're also shoehorning their own VPN into it.

This is a fucking joke. They're replacing Google with themselves, and offering jack shit in the way of proof they aren't doing the same shit

Edit: Also, this

It’s a fairly standard Android phone. It has a 6.67-inch IPS screen with a 2400 x 1080 resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. You get a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of expandable storage, a 64MP main camera with an 8MP ultrawide camera, and a 2MP macro camera. It’ll set you back $749.

Yeah, right.

Probably a VPN that's going to collect/sell 100% of your internet traffic.
