All of my mobile devices use some Linux based operating system. I have a PinePhone running Mobian, a moto g7 play running LineageOS, and a Samsung Galaxy Tab s6e also running LineageOS.
I would prefer a GNU/Linux operating system like Debian to Android as I feel I have more freedom and power with a traditional GNU/Linux system, although I have come to accept that ungoogled Android operating systems can be just as good if the proprietary Google services and proprietary apps are avoided. I'd like to give the PinePhone another try as daily driver especially since Debian 12 has been released.
Edit: As for Apple, being locked out of installing your own apps from outside the Apple market is reason enough to avoid iOS. As a free software user I don't think any perceived security or privacy benefits justify the massive decrease in freedom. I also would not say Apple is merely "mildly annoying" https://stallman.org/apple.html
