Well. I was literally considering getting a pixel fold in the next few days to give grapheneOS a try. I guess I won't now? What other good options are there for a (mostly) casual who wanted minimal fiddling and maximum privacy? Just switching back to iPhone?
I doubt iPhone is better, and it's marketing instead. Or it's a matter of time before they wanna go the data mining road. You can also get a fairphone and install a custom ROM
Right, but not Graphene, though, right? The whole draw of Graphene is that it's relatively easy and android-feature complete, no?
No idea tbh. I edited my message to fix my mistake too
Yeah, apple is always teetering on that fence where on the one side, they're a Corpo and want to sell your data, but on the other side their whole draw and the logic behind being a walled garden is the privacy aspect for their users. If they drop the privacy draw, then why would some users want to stay in a walled garden
