iOS or Android is a false dichotomy.

I run a b2b tech company from Silicon Valley and do not have a phone at all. I carry cash, plastic ID, a paper vaccine card, etc.

Restaurants push QR codes in my face and I explain I do not own a phone, and they never fail to produce a paper menu somehow. Restaurants that default to paper menus are generally classier and get more of my business anyway.

I arrange to meet people at places and show up on time. I navigate by writing down directions and paying attention to my surroundings.

A couple times I have had trouble with concerts not wanting to let me in without some nonsense ticket app. I go to the will call booth, explain I do not have a phone. They find a way to print me passes every time.

I function in society just fine.

Do not let people discriminate against you for what software you wish to use, or not use. Nothing in our constitution mandates you accept the terms of service of Apple or Google.
