Are you sure about this? I found a note on thelightphone.com support page that says "Verizon states Light Phone II only works with unlimited plans moving forward.". Source: about 1 year ago

I’ve noticed at first I was justifying the phone to people who thought I was nuts. Now I just say I’m simplifying and tell them to go to thelightphone.com. But it’s interesting getting peoples take on it. Some think it’s the best idea ever, and some think I’ve lost it. Source: over 2 years ago

You need to go to the dashboard at thelightphone.com :) That's where you can add those additional tools. I think Maps is coming this week, so I don't believe you can add that one quite yet. For the time, I believe I set this up when I started the phone. Did you do like a factory re-set type of thing when you got it? I went to the "time" setting in settings and it looks like all you can do there is change the time... Source: almost 3 years ago

That's probably to prevent the most obvious workaround of creating a new shell company for every million users. (Which would be not so ridiculous as it sounds, there is plenty of software you cannot buy directly but only through a reseller. Epic could become a pure b2b shop on paper and sell Fortnite clients to regional distributors, or something like that.) Some time ago somebody made an alternative App Store for... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

See: https://altstore.io/ 2 apps, re-sign weekly maximum. 3 if you do it without AltStore. Unlimited with a $99/yr developer account. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I mean, that's fine. My argument about adblockers applies to other software too: the Apple ecosystem has some of the basics (like sync, browsers, etc) figured out for me so that I don't need to fiddle with it. While I'd like to use Firefox, I don't need to, and the tradeoffs that come with accepting Safari instead are worth it for my specific situation.
