    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???

      They may be supporting more phones soon. Theyre talking with an OEM that may make phones that meet their requirements.

      Could be, that this won’t go on (at least with newer pixels), because Google decided to close some source code

        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.
