I genuinely don’t think I can ever return to stock Android after being used to GrapheneOS.
This sucks, I have vendor locked-in myself to Google phones because everything else is so horrible. Why is there no company that provides phones with just barebones Android, with regular security updates and without Google/AI crap???
Even then, if they manage to support the Pixel 9a for the entire life cycle I can just switch to that in a few years and still have a couple years of updates.
Plus I believe they could reduce the number of future supported devices which would make reverse engineering easier.
i like how android releases these days are just a list of things i have to disable

They may be supporting more phones soon. Theyre talking with an OEM that may make phones that meet their requirements.
I will 100% buy a grapheneos phone when my current phone dies if it has a good camera and is reasonably sized.
Could be, that this won’t go on (at least with newer pixels), because Google decided to close some source code
